ABOUT
Hi I’m Helen Fernando, a Netherlands based concept creative and Art Director. Graduated in graphic design and fine arts. I was born and raised with Sri Lankan and Dutch roots. This sparked a big interest for people, culture and blending different ‘worlds’ together.
I’ve dropped Masterpieces into a blender and launched the first taxi service in the world with disabled drivers only. I would describe my work as bold, distinctive and multidisciplinary.
The past years I’ve worked with national and international brands such as Philips, Ford, Centraal Beheer, McDonald’s, Albert Heijn, ProRail, NS, Amnesty International among many others. I’m a creative duo with Rens Quirijnen, currently at DEPT®.
