Hi!
My story
Growing up I was always creating. My bedroom floor was usually covered with paper & glue or fabrics, pins & needles. Later on It was my harddrive on my computer that was covered with Paint drawings and webpages filled with blinking gifs.
During my first year in college I started creating banners, animations and websites with my own one-woman-business 'Creamanda'.
This small town girl moved to Rotterdam and started out as a visual design intern. I fell in love with city life and the ‘we can create anything we can think of’ mindset at DPDK.
Front-end
After three years of a bit of a struggle, Visual Design and I broke up. We’re still good friends, but I lost my heart to a more technical way of creating digital projects.
Back then the developers didn’t have ‘Front-end / Creative / Backend’ prefixes yet and I became the first official Front-end Developer at DPDK.
For the past six years I’ve been happily making projects look pixel perfect. Both at work and for my own clients.
I always want to bring out the best in myself, my work and the people around me, so I love being right in the middle of development and design. To make everything come together into a responsive, beautiful, well performing project is what I'm best at.
Some random facts about me
- I am an open book; I’m very honest and direct
- Growing up I didn’t like my three annoying younger brothers, but I love them very much right now
- I miss animating with adobe Flash
- I am addicted to pushing myself at CrossFit
- I’ve never liked any cat video
- I bring boxes of healthy food everywhere
- My goal is to wake up every day with a smile on my face
- I struggle to keep plants alive
