Hector
van der Elst
Art Director & Graphic Designer
Trained at Penninghen, Hector works across brand identity and graphic design, from the first intention to the finished object. He is drawn to brands and projects that carry a cultural heritage or a craft, houses where a history and the people behind it deserve to be translated into images.
His approach combines creative rigour with a curiosity for references of all kinds, from typography and art history to cinema and music. Equally at home in print, digital and image direction, he takes on a project as a whole and holds it together across every stage of its creation.
