WOW is the Goal

I am a multidisciplinary Art Director, Designer and Type Artist dedicated to crafting visual experiences. By blending craftsmanship with cutting-edge digital tools, I transform complex brand messages into memorable storytelling with long-term value.

My name is José Bernabé and my practice moves fluidly across Branding, Creative Typography, 3D, and Motion Graphics. I approach every visual solution like a chef preparing a signature dish: meticulously selecting and balancing each element to ensure a meaningful and lasting impact.

Over the years, I have collaborated with industry-leading agencies and studios such as MediaMonks, Buck, MakeMake, Roger.tv, JWT, Scholar, Havas, and Brand New School. My vision has contributed to projects for iconic global brands including Nike, Adobe, Meta, and Nickelodeon.

Let’s shape something meaningful together.

" Working with José is always a pleasure. He has jumped in on a variety of projects with very short notice and has saved the day over and over again. He is extremely flexible and has worked under some extremely tight deadlines and still delivers top quality each time around. He also has a very impressive skillset and we've had him on a wide range of projects that he always seamlessly plugs into. Really hope to continue to work together with José in the future! "

Senior Creative at Wunderman Thompson Amsterdam
"I worked quite a while with José at JWT Amsterdam. He’s a very talented guy, an original thinker, and a good colleague. A bit stubborn though, but sometimes stubborn is good. I’m a great admirer of his artwork. It’s unique, funny, bizarre and colorful."

Budi Gonzalez de Chaves 
Founder Bijvoorkeur
" We have worked with José numerous times, at Havas Worldwide (aka Euro RSCG) and the fact that we also asked José to work for our own agency Bijvoorkeur says enough. His designs, whether it’s logo’s, house style, creative ideas, etc., are amazing. But not only that, he is pro-active and very pleasant to work with.
I would definitely recommend him! "
