Philosophy
I want to help bridge the gap between Art and Technology, Science and Culture, Fun and Philosophy. I am a creative millipede who refuses to be pigeonholed into predictable categories. I like to wear many types of hats, literally and figuratively.

SKILLS OVERVIEW
Creative Technologist
A very broad job-description. From creative coding (processing, javascript), prototyping, 3D printing, to helping Art Directors and Copywriters come up with technological solutions to creative problems (and vice-versa).
Designer and illustrator
Typography, design, grids and illustration are my passion. Digital- and traditional painting are where I get my creative juices flowing.
User Experience Designer
In every digital project I've worked on (wether it's apps or websites), I've always strived to keep the needs of the user front and center at all times. I know all about usability testing, accessibility, wireframes and prototypes.
3D Technical Artist
Modelling, texturing, baking and rigging 3D assets to prepare them for use with modern 3D engines or web-frameworks.
Front-end developer
Using HTML5, CSS3 and modern javascript frameworks such as React.js, Three.js or Babylon.js I can build dynamic front-ends that can suit many purposes.
Digital Creative
As a digital native, I've been online since before browsers were even invented. Combined with my passion for creative expression I'm the guy you need to turn any idea into something that works online (or who will tell you when it won't).
