Meet the team

Togather is led by founder & Creative Director Dilruba Tayfun. She is an Amsterdam-based Jr. Graphic designer at TomTom by day and by any other moment hoping to show the magic and stories in our environments through mark-making. During STL Dilruba recruited her neighbour conceptual and visual artist & designer Ruben de Haas as Assistant Creative Director. The two never worked together until the league, but a twig-in-a-vase in Ruben's home and their shared interests in mark-making and the environment sealed the deal. Our third and final member of Togather is product and digital designer Marie-Claire Springham on UX Design & Research. Marie-Claire has a passion for sustainability and Human Centered Design. She shared two graduations with Dilruba, a decade of tea, toast and tunes and multiple collaborative projects. A fruitful, creative friendship and history to say the least. This is a pretty unlikely team, working together for the first time, but it's proved to be an unforgettable one. Like that ingredient in Pixar films. Unexpected, challenging and eccentric!

As Team Togather we gathered in Amsterdam; but extended our arms to far and beyond it. Our collaborators & contributors tuned in from Singapore, United States, United Kingdom, Canada.. the list goes on. Finally, we have one particular collaborator who we have to thank for documenting and helping us tell our story as the project unfolds from day 1 - our friend, photographer, videographer and editor Ari Snow, Creative Director at xStudio Snow.
