I'm a visual designer with an enormous drive to create concepts and experiences that make life on this planet more fascinating, meaningful or easy. This can be an overwhelming VR experience, an inspiring multimedia tour, or a surprisingly simple tool to organise your insurances.
I'm capable of thinking about brands and products on many different levels. Besides creating visually strong work, I find it important to make sure all other aspects like interaction, tone of voice, content and marketing come together as well.
In 2010 I graduated from the Willem de Kooning Academy as a graphic designer. The past 7 years I've worked at Fabrique where I've gained valuable experience in digital products. I've worked for a variety of beautiful brands like Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, Paard, ING, Independer, Ikea, WNF.
I’m now available as a freelance designer, and always excited to talk about interesting idea’s and meet new people.
