Merijn Pijs

Design & Strategist

Hey! I’m Merijn, founder of Sprezz, a designer-turned-strategist based in Amsterdam. I’m a bit of a nerd, love staying active, and like turning messy ideas into cool products, brands and stories. I created Sprezz because, honestly, LinkedIn has always felt way too stiff for me 🤷🏽‍♂️ Hope you enjoy exploring Sprezz. Feel free to drop me a line!
