Thom + work

Seasoned expert in the digital creative industry

Take an immense passion for traveling, blend it with a love for design and front-end development. Mix it all together in the pan, let it simmer for a few years, and voilà: meet Thom. Entrepreneur, adventurer, and ardent freelancer.

UI & UX design

Pixel perfectionist, advocate of structure through design systems, and a champion for thorough user research. I strive to bring order wherever I go and actively engage in the development process to ensure my clients receive the product they deserve.

Front-end development

Thanks to my beginnings as a front-end developer, I possess extensive knowledge of HTML, CSS & Javascript. As long as it remains visual, it energizes me. Add ambition, curiosity, and a 'get things done' mentality to the mix, and you'll understand how I'm wired.

Curriculum vitae

Other questions you might have

  • Are you currently available?

    As a rule, I only plan my agenda for 80% full so that I always have room for that one really cool job that gets me excited. If you have it, send me an email.

  • What is your hourly rate?

    The hourly rate I use is €100 p/h.

  • Do you have experience with x or y?

    Above you can see what I have experience with. Are you looking for specific skills? Please contact me to find out if I can help you with that.

  • What is your location? Do you work remotely or on location?

    I am based in Utrecht, the best city in the world. In terms of work, I determine my own place, schedule and conditions. This is why I became a freelancer. That means that I decide whether I work at your office or not. So I actually work 100% remote, but can work on location in consultation.

  • What are your core values? What can I expect from you?

    Ownership of the end product. Loyalty towards a hard deadline. Doing transparent and honest business that makes all involved happy. Keeping agreements. Putting quality at number 1. Keep going until it's right. Building long-term relationships based on mutual respect.

  • What else do I need to know about you?

    As a born and raised Achterhoeker proud of my roots and additional dose of healthy common sense. In possession of a Dutch zip code but a traveling heart. Fluent in Dutch, English and to some extent also Spanish. A passionate supporter of the remote work philosophy, avid runner and seemingly very mediocre chef.
