About

I’m a Dutch graphic designer, currently living in Singapore. My main interest lies in tangible design: books, magazines, folders, paper and paper art. I’m comfortable with both MS Windows and Mac OS X, and have profound knowledge of the necessary Adobe tools. During my time in Singapore, I’ve been polishing up my photography and photo post-processing skills.
