Born and raised in Amsterdam,The Netherlands, Eva van Emde Boas studied at the ‘Grafisch Lyceum Amsterdam’ and graduated in Esthetics & Techniques.
She began her design career working for brands like Nintendo, Heineken and Mars Snackfood & Petcare. After working for both packaging and advertising agencies, she decided to start her own business thinkfish in order to explore other design areas like illustration.
This was around the same time when Eva started her coöperation with NeXtime.
She always tries to make her clock fun to look at: even if you already know the time, it should be a pleasure to look at your clock: like a painting or other piece of art that you would put on your wall. Eva likes the use of bright colours and different materials like foam and glass. She is always searching for a fun way to show time.
Other exampels of Eva’s work are music-clip ‘Easy to Run’ for project Mixed-Up by the NPS (dutch broadcast company); this computer animated clip was shown at the ‘international transmediale filmfestival’ in Berlin and the ‘holland animation film festival’ in Utrecht.
Together with interior- and decoration shop Zus&Zo woonideeën a special line of products for kids was developed called Beesjes.
For the rest you can find some of her packaging designs in supermarkt all over the world.
At the moment Eva is working in her pacific office in Australia on her next creation: illustrating a childrens poem book.
Eva loves the sea, creating nice things, sunshine and trees.
She is inspired by Japanese character design, dr Seuss, comic books, nature, plus much, much more...
