Writing

2024

In our lifetimes, we've watched technology transform our world, redefining industries and careers. But in this rush, something essential is often left behind: the spirit of curiosity, the courage to explore boldly, and the wisdom to question everything. The Renaissance was a time of rebirth—an era where art, philosophy, and science blended seamlessly. Today, we have the chance to relive that spirit, but on a global, digital scale.

I call it The New Renaissance.

2024

Innovation thrives on collaboration, not isolation. By embracing AI as a partner, we can break down silos, accelerate discovery, and unlock collective intelligence. AI helps connect ideas, refine prototypes, and spark breakthroughs across fields—from medicine to the arts. While AI handles data, humans bring creativity and vision, making this synergy key to solving global challenges. Together, we can shape a future of unparalleled innovation.

2023

I realized I didn’t understand how my own mind worked, so I built Hey Mind—a mirror for the mind. It’s a tool to help you explore philosophical questions, journal insights, and converse with AI about your observations. It’s not for logging emotions or following self-help trends. Hey Mind isn’t about fixing—it’s just a reflective tool, yours to use as you wish.

Where we saw some growth in 24, we are experimenting with new possibilities in AI and launching something new in 25.

2021

AI tools like ChatGPT are adopted out of need, not curiosity. Many still don’t grasp AI’s potential; change is coming fast. Tools like makereal.tldraw.com and once.com show how software is becoming easier, cheaper, and even self-building. The future is fluid.

2019

The current school system is facing a lot of obstacles. Many of these problems become the way for many startups who are trying to solve the failures of learning institutes.

in this post I write about our journey building a e-learning app

Side Projects

2023

Explore the mind & talk to philosophers to better understand yourself and the world around you.

2021

New side project where I build an (iOS) app that helps you explore your own mind. All current solutions are built around the idea of 'prescriptions' and self-help 'hacks', but I believe that you have to examine your own mind to learn more about yourself and the world around you.

2021

upupland is a place to explore and learn more about web3. We create a database of web3 products and interesting learning resources to learn more about the future of the internet.

2021
White paper for NFT DAO at Arteztic

Helping Arteztic write a whitepaper for building a DAO that curates NFTs that focuses on creating awareness around climate change. We won 3d place at Tezos Hackaton.

2017
Moet Ik Rennen

Together with a small team, we build a public transport app that tells you if you need to run (or not) to catch your next public transportation. The app went viral after launch (45K downloads in the first week) and won several awards in the Netherlands.

Projects

2020

We redesigned the teacher environment for an E-learning platform for one of our clients.

2018

One of my responsibilities as Creative Director at Cloudswork was building a Webshop as a Service (WaaS) for the promotional product industry. We served many international clients (including fortune 500 companies) a tool to sell promotional products.

2018

The current school system is facing a lot of obstacles. Many of these problems become the way for many startups trying to solve the failures of learning institutes. For six years, we helped this startup grow to more than a 1milion users building a product that is easy but also fun to use!

2017

For an elderly home for artists, we redesigned their brand from the ground up. My main responsibility was being the creative director/designer.
