Projects
Hendrik-Jan Grievink works on a range of commissioned and self-initiated projects positioned at the intersection of graphic design and visual culture research.

Next Nature
Grievink is editor and resident designer of the networked think- and design tank Next Nature, which he started with scientist Koert van Mensvoort in 2006. In 2011 he co-edited the book Next Nature: Nature Changes Along With Us with Koert van Mensvoort. Scientific American magazine described it as “a beautiful, thoughtful, and thought-provoking collection of images and essays.”

Together with Mensvoort, Grievink created ‘Nano Wine’, a microwaveable wine whose taste can be modified by the activation of different flavour particles via microwave. The product is part of the 'Nano Supermarket', an initiative produced by [[Next Nature[[.

Games
Grievink has created two memory games for Dutch publishing house BIS. In 2007 he designed Fake for Real, a memory game about reality and simulation in our media society. The game uses historical and contemporary images to playfully visualize the class theme of fake and real. In 2011 Grievink designed the board game 'Brand Memory' which challenges players' ability to recognize major brands through the association of visual cues alone. 'Brand Memory' tests a players' knowledge of commercial branding and confronts the player to recognize icons he knows without even noticing. The memory game was inspired after Grievink gave his first talk on the concept, reading aloud descriptions of iconic brands as they were project on the screen during his course at the Sandberg Institute.

Grievink has participated numerous times an exhibiting graphic designer. His work has been shown at the Graphic Design Museum in Breda.
