About Daantje

CONCEPTS, DESIGN & COMMUNICATION

I am a multidisciplinair designer with a big interest in marketing and communication, next to that I have the ability to organize. My strength lays in designing the complete picture. I not only design a product, or a concept, but also film, photography, print work, a website, what is necessary to communicate the message and tell the whole story. 


My vision
Design should be accessible for everyone. I believe design should be clear, it should not need too much explanation. I want people to understand each other. When I see miscommunication I feel the urge to help out, to be an information translator.
I want to understand, that is why I analyse. Starting a project with an analysis makes sure I focus on the right part of the problem.
I want to be fair, in balance. I look at situations from both sides and don’t draw conclusions too quickly. I work hard and try to evaluate as much as possible.
I want to be ingenious, make smart designs and come up with renewing concepts.
