Visual design, in every sense of the word.

The brief

I noticed the current deposit-return system doesn't really work: plenty of people can't be bothered to return their empties, while others survive by collecting them off the street. I set out to research how to connect the two groups — safely, structurally, and without the awkwardness — so they could help each other out.

The result

A clickable prototype for Statieheld, backed by a design rationale that walks through every decision behind it. The case shipped with a full pitch deck, product biography and prototype file, all linked below.

Amersfoort's local paper called it an undiscovered gem of the city centre, and 3voor12 wrote it up as one of the region's biggest house parties. Every edition gets its own campaign with a new look, while staying true to the St. Joseph aesthetic.

Since 2024, I've also screen-printed the merch on-site during the event itself. I printed and sold 70 tees in a single afternoon at the first go. Photographs are by @gooshengeveld and @bymarcelleohm on Instagram.

Club Paap is a club concept first launched in 2025. It gets most of the rave collectives that Amersfoort has to offer together, offering all of them a stage at a legal location so they can show the people of AMersfoort what they've got. A big part of Club Paap's character is the variety of music across all subgenres of electronic music.

I'm usually involved in organising too, but the part I'm consistently involved in is the design: the poster that has to work as a social post and a print flyer at once, the animated version for the story, the run of variations for every new edition.

We've consistently done a new years event for the past 4 years. Other sporadic events happen about 2/3 times a year. No matter what the event is like, each needs a design, which I'm always responsible for.

Inspired by early-2010s webcomics and old-school point-and-click adventure games, and based on first-hand experience of buying sneakers in China on a regular basis, this project explores a niche (and slightly taboo) subculture through a fully illustrated, clickable world.

Every illustration and article is hand-made. The goal was an interface that's completely intertwined with its content, with little stories and details hidden throughout the map for people willing to click around.

Not just Otto on his bike, but also the buttons have been hand animated, frame by frame. Most of the audio is also done by me.

Unless you're in a good mood, you can make Otto fall off of his bike as manu times as you like, in a variety of ways.
