Personal Information
When I was young I discovered that I was very good at drawing. So at first I drew a lot of comics (fantasy genre). I liked creating complete civilisations and their inhabitants. When I had to choose in which way I wanted to develop myself career wise, I didn't chose to go professional in drawing comics cause at that same time the internet and electronic design had become booming business. It influenced my way in thinking and expanded my possibilities to add animation and sound to my creations.
So finally I chose to study Multi Media Designing at the Grafisch Lyceum in Amsterdam where I learned to create and animate.

During the years it has always been my goal to develop my skills in as much as different fields as possible. So I'm good at designing things as well as several scripting languages like HTML and Lingo. Next to that I've developed a taste for music and am producing and composing dance tracks (from Ambient, Happy Hardcore, Euro dance and symphonic work to Industrial, Dark Wave, Gabber and Gothic).

Whenever I'm at home I like to hang out with friends to chat and or play games. In the weekends you can usually find me at some party in Amsterdam or Utrecht.

For most part I'm quit a relaxed and friendly person, but sometimes I can surprise people with things they would never expect to come from me. At times I can also be a bit hesitant if I don't feel comfortable in a new environment but that is fading with each New Year. In other times I can be very cynical and love to chat about the influence of society concerning public opinions from both extremists as well as pacifists

My goal for the future is to expand my knowledge of database languages like c++, php, xml, asp and such. I would also like to see how far I can get with my music, see if I can lift this out of the hobby environment.

I'm skilled in the following programs:
Flash 5, Dreamweaver 4, Fireworks 4, Director 8, Photoshop 6, Illustrator 9, Coreldraw 9, Powerpoint, Excel, Word, Fasttracker 2, Madtracker 3, en Fruityloops 3 and experienced in using the following content management systems: Lotus Notes, Stellent and Shareholder.com.

Aarsen Communications, Castricum.

From: September 2000 until February 2001
Task: Internship

Aarsen Communications was a company where I fulfilled my first period of internship for the duration of five months. During this internship I had to create a cd-rom presentation with the macromedia director tool. The presentation was ment as a helping tool for salesmen to promote and introduce the new Ralston Purina product Dog chow. Next to that I also created a presentation cd-rom for the company itself. It functioned as a gift that they could leave behind at potential customers. I also made several cartoons and drawings (gags) for an internal magazine for the company Corus.
In the spare time that I got I educated myself in programs like Photoshop, Flash and Dreamweaver.


Qi-ideas, Amsterdam.

From: February 2001 until July 2001
Task: Internship

Qi-Ideas was the company where I fulfilled my second period of internship for the duration of five months. I've done a lot of Desk Top Publishing work there, like designing cd case covers and other adverts and posters ment for company presentations. A second task I had to perform there was designing under-construction pages for the websites of the Vrumona company (Heineken, Xi, Pisang Ambon, Bols etc). For these brands I also did some website maintenance and designing pages for short term marketing actions. I also worked a lot with Asset-lists, this ment that you have to prepare huge lists of buttons, graphical animations and images for the internet. This was mostly done for the MSD company from Belgium. They wanted their website translated in French and English so every button and image containing text had to be translated.
In my spare time I educated myself further in programs like Dreamweaver, Flash and Photoshop, but I also learned new programs like Fireworks, PowerPoint and Adobe Illustrator.


Tarchon BV, Alkmaar.

From: July 2001 until September 2001
Task: Web designer

I worked for over two months within this company. In the end I had to leave cause they needed someone for fulltime and I had to go back to school again and I could only work for two days a week.
Tarchon was an IT company that was all about inventing semantic databases and search-engines. I was the only (creative) web designer there amongst a lot of technical specialists. It was my task to design and build them a corporate site. The company was just founded a few weeks before I had arrived. The site had to be strict and simple. Its main strength should be speed. For them being technical specialists they were not interested in graphical splendour but speed. Therefore this company was very good for developing my knowledge in HTML and cleaning up unnecessary scripts.
