About

I’m an award winning freelance creative developer and teacher from Amsterdam.

In 2018 I graduated from the University of Applied Sciences in Amsterdam and got my BaSc in Communication and Multimedia Design.

I’ve been freelancing since July 2020, and since 2021 I’ve been a judge at Awwwards.

Since 2022 I’ve been teaching parttime at the Associate Degree Frontend Design and Development at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences.

SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS

Sharing knowledge is a big part of what I like about being a developer, from time to time I speak at meetups and this year, for the first time, at a conference.

Motion can be used to enrich experiences but there’s a fine line between creative development and animating everything. Let’s walk that line together and talk about why your animations don’t ✨pop✨ (yet).
