Cool! Welcome :)
Thank you!
Sooo... who are you?
My name is Daan. I'm a 23-year-old creative from the southern part of the Netherlands who loves concept-driven work, spends way too much time on the internet, and would've probably been a rockstar in another life (see image below).

Sick guitar! 🎸
What is it that you do?
I design all sorts of creative solutions for communication challenges. Whether that's a video, a completely new brand identity, a (360) campaign, VR experience, workshop, or a toilet sign that helps men aim straight. These ideas can have any shape or form.

I love creative work that is daring, human and reflects reality. Work that not only makes a positive commercial impact but also positively affect people and the world around us.

I’ve always loved creating things. When I was about 14, I made travel videos of our summer vacations, posted gaming highlights on YouTube, and designed some truly awful logos and social media banners for my Counter-Strike friends using a pirated version of Photoshop.

I always felt very happy doing those things, so I just kinda kept doing it and more ‘serious’, and well, here we are now.
