On this page: My Vision | Key facts | Skills and Qualities | Awards | Used Software My Vision

	-	Achieving a perfect combination between form (aesthetics) and function (usability) is a passion that goes beyond the purely professional.
	-	Readability, scannability, accessibility and usability are just as important in webdesign and Graphical Interface Design as composition, colour, whitespace, contrast and shape.
	-	A real web/interface designer distinguishes himself not by how intricate his design is, but by how he uses a few key elements in his design to achieve optimal results.

	-	Autonomous yet Team player.
	-	Bionic eyes with integrated pixel rulers (eye for detail).
	-	Not a diva designer.
	-	I can handle constructive criticism (and give it as well).
