“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

– Maya Angelou

Hey, I’m Ilse Kors — and welcome to my portfolio!
I’m a Dutch designer from Amersfoort and studied Communication and Multimedia Design (CMD) in Utrecht. I’m someone who’s always creating something, whether that’s designing, editing videos, shooting pictures or building fun and engaging campaigns. I love bringing ideas to life in a way that makes people smile, feel or get inspired.

In my free time you’ll probably find me cosplaying, behind a camera, or dreaming up new concepts. I get excited about good stories, powerful visuals and anything that brings imagination to the real world.

Storytelling and immersive design are two of my biggest interests. I discovered this during my CMD studies, I followed a minor and later specialized in immersive experiences. That’s where I realized: I don’t just want to make things that look nice, I want to make things that really work. That connect with people. That solve a problem, tell a story, or leave a lasting impression.

I’m always curious and love learning new things. Whether I’m exploring a new tool, diving into design tutorials, or experimenting with a new medium, I’m happiest when I’m growing. Lately, I’ve been focusing a lot on graphic design and DTP work to sharpen my eye for layout and detail. But I’m also eager to keep developing my skills in video and animation, there’s always something new to try, and that’s what keeps it exciting.

I really enjoy working with others, especially when we can brainstorm together and bounce ideas around. I get a lot of energy from that creative process. For me, it’s not just about making something that looks good, but about creating something that really fits the core of a question or challenge. I love finding smart, creative solutions that go deeper than just the surface. Things that truly work for the client, and actually make a difference.
