I grew up in a very small village in the eastern part of the The Netherlands called Angeren. It is most famous for a statue of a little piglet, so I knew I had to move out at some point. When I was about 6 years old I started drawing illustrations on the Atari ST, one of the first desktop computers in the 80s. I found it simply magical. Since then I never stopped.

I studied Industrial Design at the University of Twente in Enschede, The Netherlands. After that I spend a small year in Princeton, New Jersey, interning at Siemens Corporate Research. When I came back in The Netherlands in 2008 I worked as a digital designer at various agencies for A-list customers. Since 2011 I have been freelancing as an designer/creative under the Janneman name.

I think the most magical things happen at the crossroads of technology and art. I love to create beautiful digital things that work great. Brands, logos, animations, videos, websites, apps. Basically everything that starts with a blank canvas. I get the job done no matter how tight the deadline is. No-nonsense, lightning fast and pixel perfect.
