Things I've built
MK Tattoo
A portfolio site for MK, a realism and whip-shading tattoo artist based in Hilversum. The design direction is deliberately stripped back — typography and layout stay quiet so his work stays loud. On wider screens (desktop and laptop), the background becomes a sliding gallery of nine looping videos of his tattoos; on phones, the same idea collapses into a focused single-photo gallery that stays fast and thumb-friendly. Resize the window or open the site on your phone versus a laptop to feel the shift — same brand, two tailored experiences.
Banketbakkerij Burgt
A full e-commerce platform for one of Hilversum's most established artisan bakeries, trading for over 40 years. The visual identity is warm and crafted — cream backgrounds, soft serif headings, and rich product photography that makes the pastries the hero. Built with a complete shopping cart, category-based catalogue of 160+ products, iDeal checkout integration, and a blog. The design deliberately avoids anything sterile or corporate, keeping the handmade character of the bakery at its core.
Emmanna Bakery
A personal, story-driven site for Anna Maria, a bespoke cake artist in Hilversum. The design is soft and intimate — pastel tones, flowing layouts, and a full-screen gallery that puts the hand-crafted cakes front and centre. The ordering flow was intentionally kept conversational rather than transactional, reflecting how Anna Maria works: through personal contact, inspiration photos, and a real dialogue with each customer. Custom lightbox gallery, step-by-step how-it-works section, and Google Reviews integration round it out.
Saravanaa Bhavan
A polished marketing site for Saravanaa Bhavan Nederland — the Amsterdam outpost of a renowned South Indian vegetarian restaurant chain. Long-form editorial sections walk through heritage, the dosa experience, street-food favourites, thali-style meals, and sweets & filter coffee, each with must-try callouts. The restaurant block surfaces address, phone, menu, and directions; a testimonials area showcases Google reviews. The layout and typography aim for a refined dining feel while staying fast and readable on mobile.
Phoenix Health & Wellness
A calming, minimal site for a massage therapy studio in Hilversum, built in three languages — Dutch, English, and Chinese — to serve the therapist's diverse clientele. The colour palette draws from nature: deep forest greens and warm off-whites that evoke stillness and recovery. Typography is kept clean and unhurried, with generous breathing room between sections. Rather than a booking widget, the CTA is a direct phone call — a deliberate choice to keep the experience personal and human, mirroring the therapist's own approach.
Het Olijven Huis
A warm Mediterranean product showcase for a small, family-run deli that has been hand-crafting tapenades and marinating olives since 2008. Earthy olive greens, terracotta accents, and natural textures run throughout the design to evoke the feeling of a Moroccan market stall. The full product catalogue — 80+ tapenades, olives, and olive oils — is laid out simply and clearly, letting the produce speak for itself. The copy was written in the same direct, friendly voice as the owner Aziz himself.
Amma Tattoo
A rich, bilingual (EN / NL) site for Rangiesh, a self-taught spiritual tattoo artist from Kerala, India, based in Hilversum. The design mirrors the artist's philosophy — dark backgrounds, gold and rust accent tones, and hand-feel typography that conveys craftsmanship over commerce. The site goes well beyond a typical portfolio: it includes a blog, FAQ, webshop, and free consultation booking. The hero section opens with a looping video of the studio and leads into Rangiesh's personal story, building trust long before a visitor makes contact.
Wins Wereldwinkel
A colourful, purpose-driven webshop for a fair-trade world shop in Hilversum. The design embraces a global, vibrant aesthetic — rich colours and eclectic product imagery reflecting the diverse origins of the goods on offer. Built as a fully functional e-commerce experience with product categories, a shopping cart, and checkout flow, the site balances the warmth of an independent shop with the usability expected of a modern webshop.
