Rik Oostenbroek
Rik Oostenbroek (31 years old) is born and raised in Hilversum. Rik: ‘I’m a creator who likes color, composition, and has a preference for the abstract. And all of that digital! Print, animation, 2D, 3D, and typography. I like change and try to innovate but always with a clear Rik signature. It started as a hobby when I was a kid still living with my parents. I couldn’t have thought that I could one day make a living with my hobby”.
Rik has clients all over the world and has visited some awesome places around the globe for his work but there’s no place like Hilversum. You can find him most times at the Stookplaats: an old warehouse full of creative youngsters. “A place like this in my hometown Hilversum makes working in a big city totally irrelevant. I also have my friends here and even my 95-year-old grandma!”
I take a lot of commissions I enjoy but there also needs to be some challenge. I also think it’s important to create time for my own work. This way I can play around with new ideas and experiments and continue evolving. So you see I’m always busy. Either behind my computer or in my head. If this leads to great partnerships like my worldwide ambassadorship for HP I know why I like so much what I do. Through the years I have done some awesome projects for Apple, Porche, Nike, Adidas, Ubisoft, HP, and Puma, purely by doing what I like most…. Create random shit!
