About me

My name is Jimmy-Dean and I am 33 years old. I was born and raised in Vlissingen and since 2010 I live in Rotterdam.

I have been designing from an early age, on paper and on screen. That is how I grew into a graphic designer and website developer. I design logos and brand identities, print and packaging, illustrations and social media. The websites I build in WordPress, from the first design to the working site. Now I lead a design team and build the internal tools that automate the design work. With AI I automate the steps in the design process that no longer ask for a design decision.

Besides being creative I like travelling, vegan food, my cat, music and I go to the gym regularly.
