Thanks for visiting my site! On these pages I hope to give you some idea of what I do and how I do it. I'm deliberatly keeping this site simple, clean and informal, since that's the way I like to do business too.

In short I translate clients briefs into great designs and/or secure, scalable and easy to use (web) applications for individual clients to large corporations. Check out the portfolio and project pages, I'll let the work do the talking...

Cheers, Merijn Mulder

PS: This site was designed together with Daan Huet (daanid.com). We work together often and you should check out her work too!

Below you'll find a small selection of the 80+ brand and webdesign projects I did over the years. As I prepere more presentations for this site, I will post those here as well.
Who knows your project will be featured here too in future!

Swipe up and down to switch projects, and left and right to go through the different slides of the presentation.

Client

st.PIERRE (2016-current)

Case

Logo design, website and various promotion and packaging

Notes

Apart from my design business I run a luxury short stay apartment with my mother. The name st.Pierre was based on the st. Peter, patron saint of Leiden and folder of the keys to heaven.

The logo design was based on caligraphy and the ornamental iron work on medieval keys.

Client

Blue Island Beach Club, Greece (2016-current)

Case

Logo design

Notes

Every spring and autumn I plan a little trip to our family house in Greece. During those visits I'm ussually te be found at the local beachclub, the blue island.

As a token of my appreciation of their endless hospitality, I offered to redesigned their logo and work with them to improve exposure and brand recognition.

Client

Nautic Generation (2008-2010)

Case

Logo design, website and various promotion

Notes

Just before the financial crisis hit, I was involved with a start up shipyard building luxury tenders/cruisers. Although there was some branding in place we expanded and build a whole visual language that was even implemented in parts of the architecture of the boats.

Sadly Nautic generation did not survive the crisis. The brand however remains one of my personal favourites.

Client

Ondernemersvereniging Pieterskwartier (2014-2018)

Case

Logo design, website and various promotion

Notes

When I became a member of the Pieterskwartier business club, I could not abide by the existing logo. After consulting with the board I got free reign to redesign the whole identity of the organisation.

After the concept Daan Huet joined me in the project and added some well needed finess to the final design and especially the typography!

Client

Christian van Megchelen, lawyer (2014-2018)

Case

Logo design, website and various promotion

Notes

As Chris Van Megchelen decided to go solo after working at some of the most prestigious Dutch law firms, he came to me for a strong and confident brand for his new firm.

Working closely with Chris and also getting Daan Huet involved in the concept fase, we came to a simple but powerful brand. Especially the color choice was a challenge. Typical colors associated with lawfirms were to be avoided, but much deliberation a cool lime color was chosen.

Client

Sa Font, Ibiza (2018-current)

Case

Website and hotel management system

Notes

During her work on the Sa Font brand Daan Huet contacted me to pitch for their website. As it turned out the project was quite a lot more than just a site and a whole reservation and hotel management system had to be build.

The site features a integrated booking engine and will most likely launch this winter. Check Sa Font under application design for a little bit more info on the project

It was the nineties, the 'dawn of the internet' and there was plenty of work for tech savvy creatives. By public demand my (web)design hobby turned professional and my company took off. Unlike other start-ups I decided early on not to grow, prefering to stay a designer in stead of running a company.

I view design as a traditional craft: the best results are achieved when clients hire a particular designer, not the company with the best sales team.
