ABOUT

2005 – PRESENT

Director & Designer with specialized expertise in navigating the juncture of design and technology within the realm of permanent digital experiences for physical spaces, encompassing corporate, retail, museums, and entertainment.

Raised in the Netherlands, my journey began as a sponsored gamer, where I taught myself Photoshop, After Effects, and Flash. This skill set led me to work in Hollywood, focusing on movie and game marketing. Later on I moved to New York to work with renowned brands, and then transitioned to creating digital experiences for physical spaces. Driven by my passion for bespoke design, motion, and technology, I firmly believe that form, function, and content together are greater than the sum of their parts.

TORRE GLORIES
DATA EXHIBIT

We created a permanent data exhibit within the Torre Glòries Hyperview Barcelona experience that teaches visitors a new way of seeing—to look beyond the surface of a city, and to observe the unseen forces that drive Barcelona’s various ecosystems. Housed on the base floor, 4 unique visualizations—Wind, Sky Above Us, Our Sea, and Soundscapes—bring to life data we cannot see with the naked eye.

THE SHED DIGITAL SIGNAGE SYSTEM

The digital displays at The Shed—81 screens spanning 9 floors and 200,000 square feet—are a cornerstone of its visitor experience and require a system as flexible and unique as the building itself. We designed and produced a range of dynamic content templates, all automatically deployed according to each day’s unique schedule through a custom digital signage system.
