Hi, I'm Dennis and I'm graphic designer living in the beautiful city of Utrecht in the Netherlands. I have over ten years of experience working as a web designer, interaction designer and animator. These paths intertwine quite often and as a result, I have acquired a diverse and comprehensive skills set that allows me to adapt too many different situations.
My main interest is in how users interact with the products I design. Forecasting their needs and designing something that's not only easy-to-use but also offers a fun experience.
I've abused many pixels. They consider me a monster.
Education
In 2003 I graduated from the Academy of Journalism and Communication in Utrecht. My final paper was on web usability in the field of online marketing. In my final year I taught several courses of Photoshop to students and teachers.
