About me

I enjoy creating simple, uncluttered and sustainable websites with a small footprint.
I love contributing to WordPress.

Projects

Carbon Footprint plugin

I am working on a plugin that brings the information from the Website Carbon Calculator to WordPress’ Site Health feature. We, the Sustainability Team, hope to raise awareness about digital sustainability this way.

Isala

The prize of Dutch literature

I have built the website for the organisation of the ‘Prijs der Nederlandse Letteren’ to easily enable them to put new laureates in the picture and keep an archive of past winners of the prize

Global Warning

CAFYR

I’ve designed and built a site for CAFYR, a project at the University of Antwerp about age in children’s books.

LittleBigThings

I am working on the story and the brand identity of my small company, LittleBigThings.
I am further optimising the greener infrastructure to launch, host and support WordPress websites.
