about me
In 2012 I obtained my Bachelor Degree in the Digital Film Making Arts at the SAE Institute in Amsterdam. Immediately afterwards I started working for the channels OUTTV/XMO as Operations Coordinator for XMO and Cameraman and Video Editor for the reports and travel programs of the channel OUTTV.

After doing this for a year I chose to gain some more experience and climbed the 'corporate ladder' at Tele2 for a number of years until I decided to move to Berlin in 2014. During my 1.5 years in Berlin I worked on promotional videos for FashionForHome.

At the beginning of last year (2016) I was approached by Viacom to work as a video editor for Comedy Central. In the past 16 months, in addition to these weekly activities, I have been able to give myself and my company CLMX an identity. By immersing myself in Graphic Design and 3D and training myself in this, I can now purposefully look for fun and creative challenges in both video and graphic design.

ask me for
Ik heb een passie voor festivals, music video's en alles wat te maken heeft met grote evenement. Zowel om te filmen als de montage en grafisch design is de vrijetijdssector de plek waar je het allemaal samen kan laten komen.

remarks
I completed my studies with Honors and am familiar with film theory. In recent years I have carried out many different assignments that have made me very broadly educated.

trackrecord
Currently, as a freelancer, I enjoy the work I do most by having the freedom to plan my days myself. It's less challenging than the travel shows I've filmed and edited but gives me all the creative freedom to go in new directions.
