PORTFOLIO

OCTOBER 2020 / GRAPHIC DESIGN

Welcome to the City of Nijmegen, home to the country’s most overly extensive metro transit network. No archeological remains were harmed in the creation of these tunnels (that we know of).

SEPTEMBER 2020 / GRAPHIC DESIGN

Welcome to the City of Arnhem, home to the country’s most overly extensive metro transit network. We ran out of space to build railway tracks on the surface, so we decided to just start digging.

SEPTEMBER 2020 / GRAPHIC DESIGN

Welcome to the City of Zwolle, home to the country’s most overly extensive metro transit network. We ran out of space to build railway tracks on the surface, so we decided to just start digging.

SEPTEMBER 2020 / GRAPHIC DESIGN

Welcome to the City of Leeuwarden, home to the country’s most overly extensive metro transit network. A decent smooth-flowing ring road might be a bridge too far, but at least you don’t have to stagger home from Goal Alley anymore.

AUGUST 2020 / GRAPHIC DESIGN

Welcome to the City of Utrecht, home to the country’s most overly extensive metro transit network. We weren’t able to make the trains run on time, so we decided to just throw our hands up and dig in.

JULY 2020 / GRAPHIC DESIGN

Welcome to the City of Groningen, home to the country’s most overly extensive metro transit network. Although the official slogan maintains that ‘there’s nothing above Groningen’, nowhere does it say you’re not allowed to go underneath.

NOVEMBER 2017 / GRAPHIC DESIGN

Wat nou als plaatsnamen nooit veranderden, en de allereerste naam die op schrift is gezet nog altijd wordt gebruikt? Dan krijg je deze kaart.

DECEMBER 2016 / GRAPHIC DESIGN

A continent in stereotypes, viewed through the eyes of the average Dutchmen. From bike-stealing Germans to our love/hate relationship with the French to lazy Poles taking our jobs.

AUGUST 2014 / GRAPHIC DESIGN

This 2014 map went viral almost overnight. No map has been more insightful in the Dutch national psyche while managing to piss off every single region and city.

MAY 2017 / GRAPHIC DESIGN

Soms zie je een plaatsnaam voorbij komen waarbij je denkt: hoe dan? En met al die “hoe dan”-plekken kan je in Nederland een kaart vullen.

Visualisation of the Pantheon 1.0 dataset, mapping “historical cultural production” by collecting, visualizing and analyzing data from the biographies of significant figures worldwide.

NOVEMBER 2017 / GRAPHIC DESIGN

Wat stelt die Haagse baantjescarroussel nou helemaal voor? Ik was benieuwd naar de functies die onze bewindvoerders de afgelopen decennia hebben vervuld na hun ministerschap…

JULY 2015 / PHOTOGRAPHY

As one of the many volunteer photographers during the Grand Départ of the 2015 Tour de France in Utrecht, I was there to capture the iconic passage underneath the Dom Tower.

This was originally a series of albums in the /r/Movies subforum at Reddit, featuring a wide range of figures with some historical significance and the actors who portrayed them in film and TV.

JUNE 2015 / GRAPHIC DESIGN

In part an intriguing “what if” scenario, in part a simple practice in mapmaking, this map offers a view of the states and cities in the US with the Latin equivalent of their respective names.

APRIL 2016 / GRAPHIC DESIGN

Amsterdam, dam aan de Amstel. Hoe makkelijk de oorsprong van een plaatsnaam kan zijn. Maar waar komt de naam Utrecht vandaan? Of Leeuwarden? Of Schiermonnikoog?

MAY 2017 / WEB DESIGN
