From Photoshop 1.0.7. to Adobe Creative Cloud 2025. Almost 30 years goal-oriented creative solutions for your communication design in a nutshell: My professoion started with learning difficulties, tutoring and worried parents. I would clearly never become that bèta genius. But after finishing a course LOI Advertising draughtsmanship successfully (16 years old: got an A :) the foundation was laid for the profession I do every day with pleasure. After graduating art school in the middle of a mid nineties mini-economic recession, I started my own business. I worked hard, learned from old-hands and fellow professionals and studied the numerous aspects of the trade. For numerous years I worked freelance on advertising-, design- and communication agencies between art-directors, copywriters and people from account, changing my interest from image to typography, from footage to brand perception. Through countless jobs in various branches my portfolio is versatile, studious and always looking for the most efficient working methods. I consider myself a pro at desktop publishing, both technical as well as creative, without losing sight of the big picture. There are certain fields where I did walk the extra mile, I will summarize here below: Packaging The technical aspects I learned mostly by working for a large printing lithography company. Cutting dies, crease, manual trapping and complicated six, seven or even eight color printing along with foil and spot varnish plates. Wonderful nutcrackers I love to work on. Retail With several years working experience for retail companies like Bose, Fetim, Intratuin, Hema, Samsung and V&D, this is the sector I can read and write with. In need for consistant campaign material? POS and instore design. From displays up to large advertising banners. I take care the design matches the appearance of your bazaar, ensuring the message is clear delivered, and the technical output is spot-on. International markets Broaden your horizon? For international marketing materials you found the right place. Not only experienced in dealing with the different cultural aspects, also language specific typographic details are noticed. Up to and included Arabic language. In the mean time I rarely work on location anymore, but fortunately I have a great workspace where the magic happens and concentrated work is being done. What can I do for you to help your organization forward? Come by, put a message out or grab your phone. If it’s about editing a text correction or your next mega order, together we ensure that it’s squared away.
