Designer
My personal passion in design lies in motion design and typography. Introducing the elements of time and movement create a whole extra dimension with which you can express personality in a design. With typography I enjoy finding unique ways to individualize the visuals with the readability that is necessary with text.
I consider curiosity the most important part of our jobs as designers. So much of what we do is communication, translating others’ ideas to be communicated in a visual medium. Whether for a passion-project or essential informational work, matching a visual style to emphasize, enhance, and ‘sell’ a message is an integral part of the creative process. I see our process as like a puzzle, working towards the solution, the best fit, for the client and individual project.
