Summary

At Agis I am designing improvements on the many websites and applications of the health insurance company. Driven by the custumer's point of view I pledge for user friendly interactions.
For Dance4Life I was creating and coordinating strategy, concepts and new online opportunities for web, communities and email campaigns targeted on youth.

International experience came from many interactions with international students in Wageningen, from my 1 year stay in Cape town / Khayelitsha (South Africa) where I researched life and architecture in peri-urban environments, and assisted in sociological research to aids-orphans and from the many international contacts at my work for Dance4Life.

My background is in conceptual design for public spaces, from where I worked for a creative office. From there I developed presentation of concepts different techniques, Animation in Flash, Vector art in Illustrator, Company styling and profiling in Indesign or photo-editing in Photoshop, You name it. I can dream it all, for web and print.
