Dutch Resource

From September 2006–08 I served as the Advertising Manager/Designer responsible for the outward graphic image of MoMA in conjunction with smaller in-house projects.

I now run my own studio and concentrate
on projects for clients mainly in art and architecture. These include an identity for
the celebrated architecture studio of Galia Solomonoff, a redesign of the biannual journal Constructs for The Yale School
of Architecture, and graphics for my line of
t-shirts, Nonplus, produced and sold in Tokyo. I have recently completed a catalogue for Hans Ulrich Obrist and Olafur Eliasson's Experiment Marathon as well as exhibition graphics and a booklet for the architectural critic and curator Nina Rappaport. Currently
I am designing two books to be published
by Princeton Architectural Press, the identity and publications of The Amie and Tony James Gallery, and a printed version of
the e-flux online art journal. Also, I am adjunct professor at Parsons The New School for Design, teaching Portfolio and Process, a graphic design course. I have been a visiting critic and lecturer at Pratt Institute, Yale School of Art, and Columbia Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation.

I moved to New York in June 2006 from the Netherlands where I lived for two years and where I received my master's degree from
the Werkplaats Typografie, studying under the Dutch masters Karel Martens and Armand Mevis, the British designer Paul Elliman, the curator Maxine Kopsa, and collaborating with renowned designers Maureen Mooren and Daniel van der Velden. In Holland my commissioners included the Netherlands Architecure Institute for the design of issue #68 of the bilingual Dutch and English architectural journal OASE and the TPG Dutch Post for whom I designed twenty postage stamps. In 2005 I lived in Chaumont, France for seven weeks, where I collaborated on the design and exhibition of Dutch Resource. I also collaboratively designed and produced the book Nicosia this Week for the cancelled Manifesta 6 Biennial in Nicosia, Cyprus.

From 2000 to 2004 I lived in Reykjavik, Iceland and worked as a Senior Designer
for two advertising and graphic design studios, while also designing independent projects for cultural clients. Since 2001
I have been an instructor and critic at the Iceland Academy of the Arts.
