I studied graphic design at the Gerrit Rietveld academy and graduated in 1999.
Over the past years I have done graphic design and artwork for many dutch and international clients.
I collaborated as a designers duo with the renowned and extraordinairy Piet Schreuders for 7 years, and occasionally we still work together.
I love to design books, CD artwork, posters, business cards, websites and more...
If you like my work and would like me to design for you

The artwork for my new CD was done in collaboration with photographer Eddo Hartmann. Eddo shot some amazing pictures of me and Ken Stringfellow in his studio based on scetches I had made.
