About me

Hey, I'm Jörg van der Vegte a Creative Director and Art Director from Germany. I grew up in a tiny town right on the German-Dutch border, next to a river called the Vechte. That's actually where the last name comes from. Which makes it slightly embarrassing that I never learned a word of Dutch. Anyhow.

Curiosity eventually carried me across that river and further than I expected. In 2015 I landed at Jung von Matt. An agency that, as it turns out, names its offices after rivers. I choose to see that as the universe being unusually on the nose.

Along the way I've had the privilege of creating A reversible jacket for the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Reinvent and launch a new luxury automotive brand. And putting Europe's largest online fashion retailer on the football culture map.

The river history, by the way, is still under investigation.
