I am a freelance creative technical developer based in Haarlem, The Netherlands.

I love to mix different techniques and technical approaches to create beautiful, mesmerizing and meaningful installations.

About

For as long as I can remember there was a fascination for everything technical related. I opened up toys as a kid to see and adjust their inner workings and this mentality of exploring and adjusting has been present ever since.

I love to come up with a creative technical approach to your question or design.

I specialize in combining multiple types of hard- and software or even 'hack' certain elements to make them do things they weren't originally designed for.

My starting point is always focused on the needs of the user and his/her role in the concept. To achieve this, I approach a design or concept from multiple angles. Not only from just a technical perspective, but also from a User Experience and Visual Interface Design perspective.
