Biography

REBECCA ABSIL is a CREATIVE and ART DIRECTOR specializing in sports, fashion, and brand storytelling across digital platforms. She holds a BA in COMMUNICATION from DESIGN ACADEMY EINDHOVEN and currently works at ADIDAS.

When I’m not creating for others, I create for myself — nurturing plants, cooking with greens, capturing light through my lens, moving through nature, or building something tangible with my hands. These are the moments that keep me grounded and inspired.

When I am, my goal is to create meaningful relationships between a brand and their audience through distinct experiences via the use of image, video and the web. My strengths lie in defining identities and my ability to translate these into aesthetics. Likewise, from a strategic standpoint, I am experienced in communicating a strong and consistent (visual) story across a variety of touch-points. My projects include: visual identity development and art direction.
