General info
Design & Art Direction
Amsterdam
I am a multidisciplinary Design Lead based in Amsterdam focussing primarily on Digital Product Design / UI / UX and Branding & Visual Identity. I have been working with creative organisations and individuals for the last 20 years across The Netherlands and New York City, both independently and with design studios such as Argo Design, Mirabeau / Cognizant, iO Digital and Zerotrillion Amsterdam.

Some of the clients I have worked with are New York Life, T-Mobile, Ben, Unicef, Spaces, The Van Gogh Museum, CitizenM Hotels, The Amsterdam Fashion Academy, The ING Bank, The World Wildlife Fund and the City of Amsterdam.

Adobe CC and Figma are my weapons of choice. I know how to balance aesthetic and commercial aspects on projects I am working on and am result and target driven. I have a strong sense of style, am a clear communicator at all levels - an analyzer, motivator, inspirator and problem solver. I get the job done.
