Education:Junior Art Direction, Amsterdam and Graphic Designer, Zwolle both in the Netherlands

When i was i child, i already liked to draw

I choose to be a designer.

I often design online banners and user interfaces. What I like to design are, for example, complete walls of living rooms.

Just don't start directly, thirst think about youre design and possibilty's

A great designer will first think before he / she starts immediately

Balance in color / shape and material

The value of good design is that you can enjoy it for years.

Posters or wall design

To design my livng room, with own made posters.

Out of the box

David Lachapelle

Dutch advertisement, humor and style

I think my silver award. I am very pleased with this.

Always looking at other designers, how they do it? Try to make a copy of it to testing yourself.

Store manager.

Design is enjoying the beautiful things, thinking about it, simplifying life in some cases.

Other beautifull designs

By looking closely at other designers, sometimes trying to copy the techniques they use out of curiosity.

Always start a project immediately. Instead of thinking carefully about the possibilities.

1 online platform

Poster, in the future more packaging designs.

To sttill be happy with my work.

Quality and thinking along.

Through the right communication, or ask for a product.

I am working on some projects like a websitebanner and a advertisement

The projects that i can do what i want

1 online platform/portfolio with all the designers. Less online design tools that creates brands. Less templates.

In some areas more and more tools on the internet that make it for you.

Normally an hour. bigger projects can be days

Drawing and thinking

Be happy with your work.

I think most of the time trends set the designs.

The role of technology becomes fine tools in the middle of the design process.

Pencil, Indesign, Illustrator, Photoshop

Very important, color can make a good balance in the design

How I came up with the idea.

Can i make that to?

I believe in co-design

I did't interacted other people.

Dutch design

Years to practise, curiosity and good looking around.

I would like to meet world famous musicians and jam with them.

I am very honored with the 2 awards i won this year.

That a customer had given a paper with offers for an advertisement. Then I created an advertisement and sent it to the customer. The customer's response was: You have to scan the notes and that has to be printed.

To look around at other designers, motivated to make more beautifull things.

Yes, as a little child i was drawing. i liked also to work with colors.

Internet with more tools to design things for people just by clicking a vieuw buttons.

That you are really rewarded by hard work.

Designer Interview

20 October 2019

As a child i loved drawing, and at he age of sixteen i wanted to be a designer.

I am a freelancer, so i work one my one.

design is thinking about a solution, make the message clearer

illustration i like the most.

Many artist. I think overall the photgrapher David LaChapelle

a brochure

my favorite is the actions in photoshop.

When i complete can doing my own thing, without to stay within frameworks

first look at what options there are, instead of direct starting at a project

doubting, a project is almost never finished. I see improvements again the next day

innovative, thought about

the designer certainly has responsibilities. For example, I sometimes print on water-based printing inks

I think that in some areas there is less demand for designers, because there are more and more tools on the internet that can help the consumer / company

Never had an exhibition

Sometimes I think of the whole thing myself, other times I sometimes look for something in various sources.

I think my style is very diverse. One time I can make a very loose design, other times it must be a tight advertisement that must be designed within a corporate identity.

I liove in the Netherlands. yes i will affacts my design. I see never designs in magazins on tv from (example) india, Austria, Afrika.

if I can't get anywhere, I often call an external company to see if we can work it out together

Search for work that designers have made, if that appeals, you are already one step further.

That depends on what I'm starting. As an example: Brand, I am starting to draw on paper, show it to the customer. When a choice is made, I will elaborate this in Illustrator

My books about design, lamp, my bike, car and my garden

Very diverse, view mail, process orders, call from a customer, urgently needs something. Get started and then coffee. See if I can improve processes and gather information on the internet.

Don't start off right away. first think, what is the budget?, which way can I go, and what is achievable.

Positive: making fun things, sometimes giving your own twist. Negative: Sometimes you have to keep in the grid with customers.

come up with something new

Looking at other designers, feeling with typograpy/color.

pencil, indesign, photoshop, illustrator, SQL, internet, acrobat poroffesional.

Check in advance if it can be achieved within a certain time.

Different, a website 20 ours, brand 8 ours.

Art director

Little company's, Brewery, IT
