About
Hidde Meulenbeek and Deimion van der Sloot graduated simultaneously at the Utrecht School of the Arts in 2010 as Graphic Designers. Since then they work under the name Studio Zijspan for different clients and like to initiate their own projects.
Besides traditional graphic design Studio Zijspan is constantly looking for interesting niches between design, performance, installation and film.
