Hello I am Davey,

I am a creative individual who enjoys leveraging technology to explore new possibilities. Whether you consider me a designer with a love for engineering or an engineer with a keen eye for design, one thing is certain — I thrive as a maker and problem solver. Nothing excites me more than working on complex digital projects and using my skills to find creative and well-suited solutions. Seeing projects come to life is an amazing feeling. When done well a project feels like magic, very simple and intuitive on the surface but fascinatingly complex below.

I am originally from The Netherlands but now London based. I have over 10 years of industry experience in both digital/design agencies and early-stage startups. I love to work with a diverse set of people, clients and companies. I like every project to be a new adventure, a great opportunity to explore different perspective and to push myself in improving in my craft.

Design

I have a varied background in design. With my skill set, working on data visualisation and generative art has been a natural match at the start of my career. Over time, I have proactively broadened my expertise to include product design, digital design, and campaign based media projects.

  • Design thinking
  • Data visualisation
  • Generative & procedural design
  • UI / UX design
  • Rapid prototyping
  • Figma, Sketch and Adobe CS

Technology

I love bringing projects to live with the use of technlogy. I have worked a lot on both 2D and 3D projects, mainly aimed for the web but also at physical instalations. I can make pixel perfect user interfaces for products, fun 3D experiences in WebGL and very complex visualisations powered by data.

  • Javascript / Typescript
  • ReactJS & NextJS
  • (S)CSS & HTML
  • WebGL & ThreeJS
  • D3
  • NodeJS ecosystem
  • AWS & Azure
  • Data analysis

Collaboration

No project is ever really done on one's own. Collaboration is always key to success. It's therefore important to push yourself, and the team you are working with in creating a good work environment and team culture where everyone can thrive.

  • Leadership
  • Taking initiative
  • Team culture
  • Process setup & management
  • Workshop facilitation
  • Agile methodologies
