ABOUT
I’m Helen.
A Netherlands-based concept creative and art director.
Growing up between Dutch and Sri Lankan cultures sparked a deep curiosity about people, culture, and bringing different worlds together.
I’ve dropped masterpieces into a blender, introduced a grandma to OnlyFans, and launched the world’s first taxi service driven entirely by disabled drivers.
Over the past decade, I’ve created work like this for brands including Centraal Beheer, Philips, Ford, Albert Heijn, McDonald’s, Praxis, ProRail, NS, and Amnesty International.
