A course by Marjolein Delhaas
Marjolein Delhaas is a graphic designer based in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. For over 17 years, she has combined commissioned design work with her own product label, which has become the core of her practice. Her work focuses on creating visual systems that bring clarity and structure to information through typography, layout, and color.
Driven by her lifelong fascination with paper, grids, and order, Marjolein began designing handmade planners and notebooks in 2008 — a collection that has since evolved into an international stationery brand sold in concept stores and museums worldwide. Her minimalist yet precise approach reflects her belief that good design transforms chaos into harmony.
