About

I'm Michiel (pronounced: Mee-kheel) based in Harderwijk, the Netherlands. When finishing my Multimedia Design studies I got my start in Flash and ActionScript. Studying Graphic Design at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague strengthened my foundation and understanding of design, but the interactive nature of the web captured my interest and imagination.

This path started with a role as a front-end developer and gradually expanded into digital product design, taking on a more integrated focus across user experience, interface, interaction design and product development. At the same time I also maintain an ongoing interest and practice in logo design, branding and visual identity.

When I'm not staring at a computer screen, I’m out riding, fixing, or building bicycles, drawing, reading and writing. Stay up to date with my latest goings-on on Bluesky (or X), connect with me on LinkedIn, view my resume, or simply send me an email.
