I’ve been thinking about coaching. More and more of my day job is about making other designers do their best work instead of me doing what I have started to call IC-type work, where IC stands for Individual Contributor. I’ve been reading a book about coaching I picked up in the local bookstore. It’s not […]

In tegenstelling tot sociale media heb jij volledige controle over wat er op je website staat en hoe het wordt gepresenteerd. Maar hoe begin je daar nu aan?

Hidde added a blog roll to his website. No, this is not 2006, it’s 2019 – but the blog roll is making a comeback! I made my own blog roll, which for now is just this blog post. I added some topical #hashtags to help you find something you like: CSS Tricks #css #frontend #dev […]

Last year I made a “best of” project and this year I wanted to do it again. You can view the “Best of 2018” website here. This is the making of blogpost in which I discuss which technical explorations I went through to get to the end result. Making these kinds of websites is not […]

Het einde van het jaar brengt vaak een moment van reflectie met zich mee: wat heb ik dit jaar juist gedaan, en waar gaat het naartoe? Professioneel had ik een zéér goed jaar. We zijn met Mono bezig met de juiste UI/UX design projecten voor de juiste klanten, en daar ben ik blij om. Ik […]
