Hi, my name is Matthijs Geise. I'm 43 years old and living in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. I hold a bachelors degree in Interaction Design from the Willem de Kooning Academy. Over the years I've done lots of freelance assignments as well as fulltime jobs for various communication agencies and software companies.
I have over 20 years of experience in freelancing.
I am a multidisciplinary creative coder, always up for new challenges. If you need a website, a new brand identity or a complete media mix, I'm here to help. I work with talented writers, video producers, photographers, database specialists, etc. to realize bigger projects.
