what I make
Ways to work together.
Small enough to stay personal, thorough enough to take a brand from first sketch to print-ready file.
Brand identity
Logo, colour, type and a guide you can actually use. For new brands and brands that have outgrown their first look.
Packaging & print
Boxes, inlays, cards and stickers, designed and prepared for the printer, down to the bleed.
Visual storytelling
Campaign and social visuals that turn a brand's feeling into posts, posters and screens people stop for.
about
Hi, I'm Nihal.
I'm a designer based in the Netherlands. Before starting The Gentle Archive I worked at Uncle Bill, an advertising agency in Amsterdam on a mission to bring the fun back to advertising, where I designed packaging and campaigns.
The Gentle Archive is where I keep the things that matter: the first feeling of a project, the sketches, the small details that make a brand feel like someone made it with care. I work with a few clients at a time, so every project gets my full attention.
It remembers who you are, tells your story gently and stays with people long after
