Deja
Canada
Graphic Designer
Illustrator
Deja van Alphen is a characteristically bold, driven, and determined individual with a creative mindset. She is what others have described her as: a “Human Wikipedia”. Deja takes her creative designs further with the addition of colour psychology, history, interest in behaviour analysis & analytics, research & development skills, and implements them into their designs to make them more dynamic, diverse, and deep.
Deja didn’t start as a Designer. Their background comes from a bachelor's in World History while minoring in Human Rights and Human Diversity (Human Rights Law & Poli. Sci.), and Philosophy. Research is their strong suit, and they will deep dive into anything and everything to make sure your design has a deep and personal impact not just to your audience, but also to you. They use their personal love of psychology to make their designs more impactful so the viewer feels more than just a story; they feel the visual experience and feel seen.
As a graphic designer, Deja is persistent in making sure the world around her sees the messages, stories, and dreams that people have to share. They currently run a graphic design podcast called DesignTea.
