Brand designer & art director based in Amsterdam, working as a fractional brand & web lead for founders, cultural organisations, and scale-ups. Identity, campaigns, editorial, web — the scope shifts, but the intent doesn't: design that changes how something feels, not just how it looks.

What I do

Fractional brand & web lead

Embed with your team a few days per month to sharpen the brand, raise the design bar, and bridge the gap between design and code.

Brand identity & campaigns

From positioning to CRM to paid campaigns, I help teams build brands that work across every touchpoint.

Product design & systems

Define how the brand scales: systems in Figma, templates for marketing, and clean frontend in Nuxt and Tailwind.

Strategic design partner

A sounding board for founders and product leaders on brand direction, web presence, and what "good" looks like.

citizenM — Summer Sale '24

citizenM is a global hotel brand built on a strong visual identity and irreverent tone of voice. As their in-house senior creative, I owned the brand's digital visual identity across every touchpoint — CRM reaching millions of subscribers, paid campaigns across Meta and Google, landing pages, social, and OOH.
I also led the in-house content team from concept to shoot, producing photography and short-form video that replaced external agency work and saved the company €50K+ annually.

113 Suicide Prevention

Designing the website for the Netherlands' national crisis helpline — working within existing brand guidelines and a component library to create something that feels safe, clear, and human.

Activant Capital

Extending the website for a research-led global investment firm. I inherited an existing design foundation and built on it — designing new components, sections, and pages that expanded the site's capabilities while staying true to the established brand identity.

Masterclass Festival Amsterdam

Phase one of a digital rebrand for an Amsterdam-based art festival. Starting where the audience already is — Instagram, email, motion — before rolling out the full identity and website in year two.

Erik Kessels and Gallerie d'Italia

Creative Production & Technical Direction. Collaborated with artist and creative director Erik Kessels on Un'Immagine, a large-scale immersive installation presented at Gallerie d'Italia, Milan, opening October 2024.
The work draws on thousands of images from the Publifoto Archive, algorithmically stitched and morphed into a continuously moving 360-degree visual and sound experience, with an original soundtrack by Robin Rimbaud and Stefano Pilia.
The core challenge was translating a precise artistic vision into a technically complex output without losing its intent in the process. Working directly with Erik, I identified the right technical collaborator, then acted as the bridge between artistic direction and execution — interpreting the concept, managing the creative dialogue, and overseeing delivery to Gallerie d'Italia.
The exhibition opened to critical success.

My principles

Form follows function

I begin with purpose before form.
Every decision is shaped by use, context, and accessibility. Structure comes first, aesthetics follow. Simplicity is not reduction for its own sake, it is the result of systems designed to perform clearly and reliably in real conditions.

True materials

I work with what is real and sustainable for the client.
Strategy, technology, and content must reflect your organisation’s reality and ambitions. We select tools and structures for their durability, transparency, and long-term relevance, not for short-term appeal.
