Welcome at Zone5

I’ve worked for more than 10 years at “Het Financieele Dagblad”, the leading national financial newspaper, comparable with the Financial Times. I do data research, make visualizations and interactive stories for print and web. I was there at the birth of the web-to-print design strategy, during which we developed smart ways of producing images for both print and web, and now also social media.

From Sep. 2023 to Sep. 2024 I was employed as manager of the infographics department, but I preferred to work as a freelancer after all – at least for now.

This is some of my work:

Spreads in supplement ‘Vooruitzicht’

Spreads in supplement ‘Futures’

The spread below won an European Newspaper Award in category ‘Infographics’. It’s about the removal of pollutants in our drinking water.

The spread below won an European Newspaper Award in the category ‘corona infographics’, it explains why the coronavirus is not just a flu.
