Where to start and what to show…

2021

A newsroom I designed that I'm particulary proud of. In my early agency days, WeTransfer's file sharing tool was a blessing.

2017

Our community said they missed an event about all the cool stuff that is happening here, locally, in Amsterdam's tech scene. So, we gathered a team of awesome volunteers and organised a conference for and by Amsterdam's tech community.

Side Projects
