I've been designing and building digital products for a wide range of customers for about a decade. I previously set up shop on behalf of Bakken & Bæck in Amsterdam when I (re)joined them in 2015 — you can find a glimpse of the work I did while there over on this page.

I live a stone's throw away from the forest in Amsterdam, with my partner and our dog, Oscar. In my spare time I enjoy going to the cinema, or reading (or both). I am primarily reading fiction and essays, the occasional non-fiction, and sometimes I dip my toe in a bundle of poetry.
