Art director - motion designer - creative

About me

What I do

Guide clients through creative challenges and craft designs that fit their goals.

My background

Originally from Elst, Gelderland, I've always known I wanted to either work with animals or pursue a creative career. At the age of 19, I graduated as a graphic designer and began working full-time as a motion designer. Since then, I've had the opportunity to create work for a wide range of brands and projects, continually expanding my skills. More recently, I've started my journey into art direction, combining strategic thinking with visual storytelling to create stronger creative concepts.

My approach

I believe great design begins with empathy.
Understanding a client's challenges, goals, and the world they operate in is the foundation for creating meaningful designs. From there, we collaborate to find the sweet spot, a design that solves the problem while also reflecting the brand.
