For 2.5 years I was a working student 12h/week for TriMM, a full service company with nearly a hundred employees working for clients like Philips, KPN, NXP, Teijin and Solar Team Twente.

Artez Institue of the Arts
Bachelor of Fine Art Media
Wanting to study all my life I applied for a bachelor study in the Netherlands. I chose for an autonomous education in media. Exploring my passion for photography and video I combined it to installations making the visual an experience. For my final project I focus on the conceptional side of media turning a website into a tool for social actions. My graduation is expected in summer 2014.

Freelancer
UX & Visual Designer
As freelancer I started working for different clients, learning about project management and business structures. DATEV has been my client since. Together with their in-house design department we designed the interfaces of their applications and created a rage of icons. Furthermore there was a variety of commissions for print designs like business stationery and flyers, as well as web design and social media customisation. I still run the business with a colleague part-time.

I stayed at the full service agency where I graduated in 2005, for 10 month working for clients like GRUNDIG INTERMEDIA, REMA TIP TOP, NETTO Marken-Discount and global concepts, before I decided to move on for a broader learning experience.

Apprenticeship
Media Designer for Print & Web
After graduating in 2002 from grammar school and returning from an Australian work & travel experience I started a school-based apprenticeship including internships at a printing shop, a company for outdoor advertising and an agency specialising in catalog design which I decided to switch to in 2005. I later got the chance to switch again to a full service agency combining print and web design.
