The ‘mix’ in MixtMedia refers to my own varied background in fashion, design and art. In MixtMedia this mix of creativity, experience and knowledge comes together. After 20 years as a visual artist, I started designing web sites in 1996. Much has changed since then in the web industry, and I have grown with these developments. For me the constant factor is my love for design and imagery and the challenge as a visual designer to find the right balance between visual impact, communication and technology.
In 2004 I set up The Bigger Picture. The idea was to create a company where my passion and talent for creating beautiful products, my knowledge of the new possibilities of digital production techniques and my internet-expertise came together. Unfortunately due to personal circumstances I wasn’t able to continue this endeavour. If you are interested seeing more I refer you to the Project pages.
In addition to my design and art work I have extensive experience as a teacher of web design and Photoshop. At present I am a lecturer in media design subjects at the Utrecht University of Applied Science. This keeps me up to date on recent internet trends and developments in addition to the pleasure in itself of passing on knowledge.
And then there is the future. At the moment that I am writing this I am applying for a European Masters of Interactive Media. In this international program I will have much opportunity to create interactive and cross-media projects and do research into the role of cross-media communication in society and business. How this all works out you will be able to follow on this website.
