Nol Cobben
Hello world, I’m Nol, a designer working between Amsterdam and Berlin.
I got an early start: left school, moved out, and dove into the creative world. I taught myself, took on internships, and learned by doing. Now, I help brands, campaigns, and people bring their ideas to life with design that’s clear, honest, and made with intention.

"Nol is an incredibly talented designer I’ve had the pleasure of working with. He brings a lot of drive and focus to his work, never adding any fluff, and always delivering beautiful work. He excels at creating brand identities, campaigns, and isn’t afraid to step into the digital realm or out of his comfort zone."

"Nol listened closely and really understood what we needed. He stayed true to the JOSHV brand while gently pushing the creative in a more elevated direction. The results, from the report to the campaign, felt high-end and still connected with our audience. A thoughtful and reliable collaborator."
Femke Hermans
Art Director JOSHV
I strongly believe design should make things clearer, not louder.
It’s about shaping ideas in a way that feels honest and easy to understand. Sometimes that’s through structure, sometimes through intuition. Either way, I aim to create work that feels right, not just for now, but for what comes next.
With experience ranging from small studios to big brands, he brings a sharp eye and positive energy to any team, whether in-house or freelance.

Whether it’s branding a tech platform or designing a poster for the dancefloor, I move between worlds. Some projects follow the rules. Others break them. I enjoy both. I work between Amsterdam and Berlin. Let’s connect → grab a coffee, share a beer, or find me on the dancefloor.
