ABOUT

Hi! I’m Max Zijdenbos, a product designer with a strong focus on visual design and a solid foundation in UX, graduating from Hogeschool Rotterdam in 2025.
I graduated with a DEPT® project (graded 9.5) that confirmed my true passion lies in visual design, which I’m now pursuing as my main craft.
I’m seeking a junior visual or product design role with the mission to craft experiences that are fun, memorable, and worth sharing, designs people want to return to simply because they were just that good.
