Designer & art director building brands with edges.
Independent, Rotterdam-based. I help culture and technology teams look like themselves — identity, editorial and the screens in between.

About
I've spent twelve years making brands that don't blend in — six in studios in Amsterdam and Berlin, six on my own.
I work with a small circle of collaborators (a strategist, two developers, a motion designer) and bring them in per project. That means you get a senior team without an agency's overheads, and I stay on the work from kickoff to the last handoff file.
