My overall goal:
Design and create tools/systems that enables people to (better) contribute to themselves and others around them in a positive manner.
Professional Experience:
I graduated at the Utrecht School of the Arts (HKU) for Master of Art in European Media (EMMA) in Interactive Multimedia (IMM). More info on the study: emma.hku.nl
Then I worked for two years at Advance as an Interaction designer. I worked on projects like www.volgensmama.nl.
I continue to work on what started as my graduation project www.helpalot.org, a charity social network site. I've set up a foundation (Stichting Helpalot) and a small team for the development of the site. At the moment we are looking for a programmer to help us out.
As of februari 2009, I've started a games company called FourceLabs (www.fourcelabs.com). We focus on social physical serious games.
