Ward Willems is a designer and storyteller at Studio (for)Ward, crafting unique experiences.

I’m Ward, a designer shaped by a conceptual approach at the Design Academy Eindhoven. Before that, I laid a solid foundation in graphic design at Vista College. At Studio (for)Ward, I combine these experiences to create forward-thinking, sustainable solutions that make a real impact.

Experimentation and hands-on research drive my creative process. I love exploring nature—cycling or sketching outdoors—where I find fresh inspiration. I’m also an avid reader, always seeking new insights (ideally with a good cup of coffee).

Looking to the future, I want my work to spark dialogue and address real-world challenges. My journey revolves around blending creativity, sustainability, and everyday life—designs that resonate with both people and the planet.
