(Principles) How we work
Four rules we have not broken yet.
01
One sentence first
Nothing gets designed until the whole company can say what makes them different in one line.
02
Small first
Every mark is drawn at 16 pixels before it is drawn at 1,600. If it fails small, it fails.
03
Same people throughout
The people who pitch are the people who deliver. No hand-offs, no juniors hidden behind a deck.
04
You own it
Everything is built so your team can run it without us. Framer sites, editable files, plain-English guides.
(Team) The people
Twelve people. You will meet six of them in the first week.
Point at a monogram: we print ourselves the same way we print the work.

(History) Ten years in ten lines
From a spare room to one floor on the Maas.
2016
Ines Marchetti starts Vennick in a spare room in Kralingen. First client: a bakery that still uses the logo.
2018
First museum identity. We learn that signage is a brand’s hardest test.
2019
Team of five. We stop doing unpaid pitches and never go back.
2020
Move to Van Vollenhovenstraat. Our first fully remote project, for a Porto tile workshop.
2022
We build every website in Framer from now on, so clients can own them.
2024
Kiln Museum’s anniversary show becomes their most visited ever.
2026
Twelve people, one floor, six to eight projects a year. That is the plan.
