Studio Davy de Lepper

Hi, I’m Davy de Lepper (he/him), a versatile creative with a heart that beats for arts and culture. My expertise lies in fusing design and strategy to bring ideas to life in ways that truly resonate with a brand’s audience. What can you expect? Campaigns that make an impact, content that stands out, and art that inspires dialogue.

Scroll down to catch a glimpse of my work — a mix of design, art, and copy.

Dutch Design Foundation | Content Producer

How can design shape a better future? As a content producer for Dutch Design Foundation, I helped create and shape all content for Designing Society, the flagship of Dutch Design Week 2024.
 
Featuring the innovative projects of the World Design Embassies, the exhibition explored societal challenges via creative solutions. From concept to execution, I managed storytelling, visual communication, and strategic content to engage audiences with the transformative power of design.

Tante Netty | Social Design

Homohooligan fights for LGBTQIA+ solidarity through education, visibility and love. In an educational film, 8 supporters of the queer community were asked to share their experiences and knowledge around topics such as gender, identity and self-expression.

This project is created in collaboration with Tante Netty and Basisschool 't Palet. Made possible with the help of Cultuur Eindhoven, KEVN and Trudo.

Homohooligan has been exhibited at Dutch Design Week (2024), the Embassy of Inclusive Society at Van Abbemuseum (2023), Hit The City (2022), and Tournament of the Unknown at W139 (2022). The project continues to evolve through its online platform, offline pop-ups, and global community.

Nxt Museum | Communication Design

The Flash Drive expands Nxt Museum’s mission to inform its community on everything new media art. The latest podcasts with artists on show, articles on Web 3.0 and NFTs, plus exclusive museum updates. Developed with the Nxt Team, this platform keeps visitors connected to the museum after their visit. Explore The Flash Drive here.

Effenaar | Communication & Marketing

As the Head of Marketing for Hit The City, a new thrilling 3-day music festival during Dutch Design Week, my role was to craft captivating campaigns that resonate with diverse audiences, fueling anticipation. Starting from scratch, I leverage innovative strategies to amplify the festival's brand, ensuring a memorable experience for all visitors.

In commission of Effenaar, in collaboration with Friendly Fire and Dutch Design Foundation.

Spaces

Effenaar celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2021, a time when organizing events of any sort was impossible. To still mark this milestone, I created a platform that would later shape the music venue's new marketing strategy. The result is a digital dimension with a content-first approach called Spaces.

Through long reads and storycards, visitors receive in-depth content on their favorite artists, upcoming shows, and musical topics – ranging from reflections on legendary shows to insights into emerging musical talent.

Spaces was developed and designed in collaboration with IN10. Explore Effenaar’s platform here.

Façade

Façade - masculinity wrapped in sleek chrome - captures the essence of masculinity through a captivating photographic journal. This poetic collection of images unveils the hidden vulnerability of men and explores society's perception of what it truly means to be masculine.

The thought-provoking series was showcased at the esteemed Photo Festival Eindhoven in 2022.

Playgrounds | Brand Strategy & Design 

Assembling identity in film

Online branding plays a crucial role in helping filmmakers secure new assignments and attract potential clients. By showcasing their portfolio, highlighting their expertise, and engaging with their audience, filmmakers can establish credibility, gain visibility, and increase their chances of being noticed by prospective clients and collaborators in the industry.

A bespoke trajectory commissioned by Playgrounds for its Next Talent Program.

Villa Nova

Care for the mentally handicapped is in its infancy in Cape Verde. This photographic series shows two of the few facilities in the archipelago: the Villa Nova institution and the daytime center CTO on São Vicente.

Published in GUP's New and exhibited in Melkweg Amsterdam and Rotterdam Photo, amongst others. 

Temporary Art Centre | Art Direction

Void

VOID is an audiovisual piece by Richard van Kruysdijk that investigates the impact of colour, detached from form and narrative. In my role as the primary art director, I transformed the poem into a solitary image, guided by a consistent silhouette that maintained its prominence throughout the entire video.

Spoken word performance by Danny Kuiper from poetry collective Onuitgesproken: winner of the Eindhoven Cultuurprijs 2021.

Through intimate portraits and thought-provoking interviews, this series showcases the diverse perspectives and artistic journeys of TAC's residents, weaving a rich tapestry of creativity and inspiration.
