  • Profile

    Thanks to my many years of experience, I know how I can and must achieve a result-oriented approach for every objective. I can best describe myself as a creative jack-of-all-trades, with an eye for detail and focused on quality. I am also eager to learn, motivated and result-oriented and can work independently as well as in a project team.

  • Work Activities

    I am experienced when it comes to communicating with customers, designing and developing communication strategies, realizing successful on- and offline marketing tools, guiding companies with User Experience (UX), User Interface (UI) Design, Accessibility (A11y), Performance, Responsive Web Design (RWD), Typography, Corporate Identities, etc.

  • Hobbies

    If I'm not behind my laptop, .. I love to go outside to play football with my son Milan. I also like to read magazines, listen to music, watch a good movie, write an article for one of my web blogs, doodling in my sketchbook, taking photographs, building with LEGO® or drinking a delicious cup of cappuccino.

Specialities of the House

Logo Design

In an overcrowded market place professional graphic design is very important in letting your company stand out from the competition. A professional logo design ensures recognisability, emphasizes the distinctiveness and credibility of your company, product or service.

Corporate Identity Design

A professional corporate identity design creates trust in the customer and prospect. Confidence in your business and products you offer, a better presentation and better business efficiency is the result. So a good corporate identity design pays itself back!

Front-End Web Design

Responsive Web Design is an approach aimed at creating device-agnostic websites that work seamlessly in a large variety of screens and devices. I bring together form and function to create something that looks good and performs brilliantly. Simple, as design should be.

WordPress Development

Blogging can work well as a cost-effective marketing tool to reach a broader audience through a personalized forum. A tailor-made, fully functional blog or corporate website with the WordPress CMS (content management system) as an alternative to conventional marketing.
