Finding a good designer ain’t easy
Today’s world is dominated by 2 types of designers: 1) the smug hipster type who sits in a café drinking cold brew and charges you lots of money before he even turns on his shiny Mac; 2) the self-proclaimed designer who “learned” the skills from a YouTube video and charges well below the market price for work that is, erm, well below an acceptable standard.
Well, I’m neither of these types (and not just because I hate cold coffee and prefer my mighty Windows workstation from Apple machines). And I’m the one you want to work with.
Why you want to work with me
I am a designer and artist, dividing my day between pixels and paints, with little time to spare. I did not learn my craft on a weekend course – I trained at Central Saint Martins in London and the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, and since graduating, have worked on numerous projects for clients from diverse industries in the UK, Poland, Portugal and Netherlands. I work across graphic and motion design, animation, video editing, illustration, web design, branding, art direction, performance design, you name it. I also have extensive writing experience so I can make you a website from A to Z (on my favourite WordPress platform).
I’m not a corporate designer or a copycat, so the “we want what they have” approach doesn’t resonate with me, please go to Fiverr for that sort of thing. I approach every project with the creativity and open-mindedness of an artist so I can really understand your needs. I avoid locking myself in a certain format – instead, I like to experiment with all sorts of tools, styles, shapes and directions. People who seek creativity, dedication and professionalism love working with me – please see testimonials.
I am an OCD-like perfectionist so everything is polished to the very last detail, and I am always available to discuss anything before, during and after the project. I live in The Hague, Netherlands, and work remotely so wherever in the world you are based, I’ll be happy to create something unique for and with you, be it a one-off project or a long-term collaboration. Oh, and I’m VAT-registered.
