Iris van Velzen, known as Droom.iris, is a freelance graphic designer, visual artist, and full-time letter lover based in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. She specializes in creating visual identities and all kinds of printed matter, such as books and publications. Her artistic practice explores bold typography, vibrant shapes, and printing techniques like Riso printing and screen printing.
She is also an aspiring self-publisher, using Riso as her primary medium. She develops striking visual concepts that combine typography, shape, and color—each uniquely tailored to the project at hand. Iris is fascinated by experimenting with design rules and grids, and enjoys rethinking these frameworks in typography, type design, print, and other materials.
