Ngrane
Amsterdam-based design and innovation agency with Curaçaoan roots, crafting human-centered digital experiences backed by 15+ years of experience and AI-powered innovation.
About
Ngrane is a design and innovation agency founded in 2009 by Stephen Garcia and David van Delden, headquartered in the heart of Amsterdam. Grown from a student house in Leiden into an established agency, Ngrane crafts digital experiences that connect and inspire, blending Dutch heritage with a world of diverse perspectives.
Its work spans design-thinking workshops and strategy, UX/UI design, branding, and data- and AI-driven marketing. Ngrane pairs a human-centered, empathy-led design process with AI-powered efficiency, delivering WCAG 2.1 compliant designs for clients such as Independer, Allianz / MediaMarkt, and Webster University Leiden.
Everything Ngrane does starts with a question: the team is driven by curiosity, invests in meaningful human relationships, and designs from empathy rather than purely commercial considerations. Through co-founder Stephen Garcia's Curaçaoan roots, the agency maintains a strong connection to the island's innovation ecosystem.
