My portfolio of commissioned and self-assigned design and illustration work through the years, most recent work on top. As said, I'm always open to commissions. Expect clear designs, taylored to your target audience, and an excellent eye for text and language in both Dutch and English. But most of all: expect to have your expectations exceeded!

Graphic design for 25-year anniversary book for BAAT Medical, engineers of innovative medical devices, like implants and surgical instruments. The intuitive choice for a 'non-technological', playful and warm title typography, since the book is —apart from the design processes and smart technical solutions— all about the people and the team doing the work. Product and portrait photography by Edwin Smits.

Design for self-released EP (L) and singles. Portrait photography by Bert Teunissen. This is where my professions merge. 

Design and copywriting of a foto-zine for StudioErikGutter, showcasing photos by Bert Teunissen of a disappearing olden days Blaricum village life. The text was my poetic (and yet factual!) interpretation of the gratitude they wanted to convey to their clientele, at the same time looking back and looking forward to new adventures. 

Selfpromotional Chinese new year's greeting cards: illustration / type design / graphic design. Because animal illustrations are much more fun to do than the next variation on traditional celebratory imagery. And they stood out for their timing: Chinese new year is late January/early February.

Design and sunflower drawing for self-released poetry collection (in progress).

Various designs / cover and editorial illustrations for Managementboek

Both writing and graphic design for Archiprix. I was provided with a stack of paper, just outlining the ideas for a collaborative program for young architecture students — so I structured it into a logical and enthusiastic story. There was something of an identity, but I took the liberty of updating it to reflect the new found spirit of the organisation.    

Concept design / graphic design / illustration / typography / infographics for market research agency Ruigrok. Over the course of several years, I designed a couple of reports and whitepapers. First thing I did was adding two bright colours to complement the pretty dark colours of the Ruigrok identity, to make the reports look fresh.

For the whitepaper cover illustrations I found the perfect combination of realism and stylised imagery, giving the opportunity to playfully express the content of the whitepaper without losing the businesslike appearance.
