I’ve studied graphic and typographic design at the Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague and graduated “cum laude” in 2006. Today I’m working in Amsterdam (The Netherlands) as a painter and as a freelance graphic/typographic designer.
In 1995 I’ve started together with Thijs (a.k.a RuweData) and his brother Coen, the Dstruct Collective.
The Dstruct Collective is a collective of musicians, artists en graphic designers who found each other in the electronic music and free party scene. Uptill now de members still work occasionally together.
