About me

Currently residing and working from the Netherlands. I like to visualize with both hand-work and digitally, letting myself adapt an appropriate style for the project at hand. Humor often plays an important role in my work, when appropriate I like to utilize it and provide that element that I feel is too often missing in the industry!

• Is anyone willing to share their contract template that they use when beginning a freelance assignment? Not quite sure where to begin!

  Sweet Rebels MuralThe common pigeon, descended from the cliff dove, has arguably adapted best to the grey, urban environment and like the street fashion foundry; Sweet Rebels, can be easily found in the heart of Rotterdam’s Centre. The piece was designed in grey scale to contrast the ever changing, colourful collection of vintage clothing.

  Lab RatsThis assignment was for The Lab, a cocktail bar and restaurant in Maastricht that mainly caters for the student community. The goal was to redesign their three menus, create a mural that would bring a bit more energy back into the interior and ultimately reinforce their brand Identity.
