Nice to meet you

My name is Wout and I work as a senior creative who enjoys the benefits of being independent. I love to spot opportunities, think up new ideas and develop them into brands, campaigns, content, ventures, services and products that are culturally relevant, digitally focused, witty, honest and smart.

People I’ve worked with tell me I have a good sense of humor combined with an entrepreneurial and curious mindset –  thinking and working at a fast pace. An experienced creative, full of energy and a pretty decent guy to have around. 

New. Now.

I believe that starting something new is fun. But most of all it’s absolutely necessary and inevitable since we live in a world that changes with the swipe of your smallest toe. New ideas are needed now. New ideas that drive business and create valuable and memorable interactions between brands and people. Ideas that service but also surprise.

You might think: ‘that’s a lot of ideas in a single paragraph’. And that’s exactly what you get when working with me. Let’s start something new, now, together.

Bathhouse

After a few months of playing around, learning about looping and a bit of electronics me and Adam decided to put our improvisations on tape. We booked a studio and played an one hour live set and cut out six songs. The EP Bathhouse is spacey and a bit funky. Music to brag about in your Spotify wrapped 2022.
