Freelance Graphic Designer
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Graphic Designer who was born in the centre of The Netherlands, Utrecht. Today I am based in Bloemendaal, a small village close to the beach and only a thirty minute drive from Amsterdam. The sea is a great inspiration to make beautiful and efficient designs for all kinds of advertising materials, you will find me surfing there when I'm not behind my Mac. I also like to travel and meet new people around the world. Just talking and listening to people of different cultures gives me new perspectives and inspiration to make better work. For the last twenty years I have been working for a variety of clients, both in size and market, with that experience I can efficiently identify an appropriate visual tone for the brief.
