About
A Dutch art director with a designers background. I use data to tell stories about urgent developments in the world and to create campaigns and identities that speak from the core.
Currently I am studying Advertising and Beyond while being a junior art director at 180 Global. Next to my studies I am an active freelancer that helps small businesses with their visual communication and have been giving Adobe software classes for four years.
In the future, I want my work to propagate optimism and hope. Because I believe that advertising should be used to stimulate a healthy self-image and world view in the publics mind.
I work 10 times better in a team and believe that creative people should be connected. Hit me up for collaboration, chats and commissions.
