Originally trained as a visualizer, I quickly discovered that web development was my true calling. I was shaped in an internet-startup where entrepreneurship, creativity, and inventiveness were highly valued.

These core values are engraved in my DNA.

Even in environments where corporate inertia seem to dominate, I approach challenges with determination and vigor.

I've been working in the digital industry for decades now, and I still love it. What I enjoy about this business is that tools are becoming increasingly cool, and new techniques are enhancing workflows.

This implies letting go of familiar methods and daring to start all over again. I appreciate new input, if only to see how far i have come with my own ideas and there is always room to grow.

Personal

My family keeps me grounded. I've learned more from living with three women than any communication course.I enjoy the simple things in life, like a good book, playing (split-screen) Mario Kart, a nice meal, or a walk along the beautiful Zeeland dunes. I also like to cook. I'm currently obsessed with making the perfect Banh Mi dough .
