BACKGROUND &

EDUCATION

I graduated in Animation from the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, where I honed my craft and developed my visual voice. But for me, learning never stops. That’s why every project I take on has its own distinct style – tailored to the story it tells.

In 2018, I began working as a freelance creative across a range of projects. Over time, my role evolved beyond animation, expanding into art direction and a broader understanding of the creative industry. I’ve collaborated on commissioned projects with agencies such as VICE, Submarine, Woodwork, and Urrebuk, among others.

Process

Research

Based on your brief, I gather all the necessary information to understand your goals and target audience. Your input and vision are essential in shaping the creative direction.

Brainstorm

Using the insights from the research and your input, I explore ideas and gather inspiration to strengthen your concept and uncover new directions — setting the foundation for the next step.

Concept

I refine the ideas into visual concepts for you to choose from. Together, we review the design choices and ensure they align with your brand before moving forward.

Execution

I bring the chosen concept to life and present the final outcome. Based on your feedback, we refine and revise until everything feels just right.

SOFTWARES

As a creative, I work across a range of tools and mediums — exploring possibilities. My practice spans diverse outputs, tailored to each client’s needs. From animations to commercial films and illustrations, I shape a distinct visual language and art direction for every project.
