After 4+ years I finally redesigned my portfolio, featuring some new (and old) work.
Of course, built with @semplicelabs. Typefaces: @NikolasType @MilieuGrotesque
I'll be speaking at @awwwards conference in AMS later this week. Hope to see you there!
My next career goal is to become Head of Off-Brand. Need help to stay off brand? You know where to find me.
10+ years in design and the 2 hardest things for me are still:
- Create a collage of images
- Make all logos appear the same size in a logo wall
Some of my ex-colleagues and friends got laird off today from @Pitch. They are some of the most talented and lovely humans I’ve worked with. So if you are hiring, take a look at this and you might find the next star for your team: tinyurl.com/pitch-alumni
Like one’s salary, your Uber rating is always lower than you’d expect.
How come I’m not 5 star?! I’m literally the perfect passenger ☹️
Last couple of days, I've heard a few times from startup CEOs that 'it's hard to find great product designers, but it's even harder to find great brand designers'.
Is it common? If yes, why are brand designers generally compensated less than product designers? 🤔
Freelancer friends: do you charge for the first call? (get to know the project, scope and people etc)
Or: If you get a lot of requests how do you filter out the ones that are serious & interesting?
Today is my last day @Pitch as the Head of Creative Studio/Head of Brand, and my team surprised me with this lovely farewell video. It's been a real honor to work with such inspiring & talented people - thank you all so much! 🥰

Crazy! I just won the most prestige award - Semplice portfolio of the year! Pog

"What happens when a person who helped built Semplice creates her own portfolio with Semplice? You've gotta see for yourself."
