A New Chapter — Powered by Creativity and Curiosity
My name is Ruben Langedijk, senior motion graphic designer and founder of Craftopia.
After graduating from the Graphic Lyceum in Amsterdam, I started freelancing as a graphic designer and DTP-er for clients like De Telegraaf, AT5 and Jiskefet. Through friends, I discovered the world of event visuals — and was instantly hooked.
In 1999, I officially joined the VJ collective Vision Impossible. Creating visuals and seeing them live on massive screens the same night was electric. We designed entire concepts — from tickets and posters to animated intros — for events in nightlife and beyond. Over the years, I worked on shows for Sensation, Vrienden van Amstel, Q-dance, Dance Valley, Transmission, and corporate clients like Philips, Heineken and Footlocker.
After 25 exciting years, it was time for a new chapter. With Craftopia, I continue creating motion design for events and now expand into social media content and game design, with AI as a powerful creative tool. Whether it’s speeding up workflows or exploring new styles, I embrace AI where it makes sense — while always keeping a strong human touch.
Looking forward to what’s next!
