Selected work
Hello there
I’m Gerry
Combining empathy, design and usually humour, I thrive on creating work that addresses meaningful issues, evokes positive emotions, and inspires people to reach their highest potential.
What do I bring to the table?
An energetic vibe that sparks curiosity and challenges conventional thinking.
An empathetic approach that connects with people and gets to the root of their needs.
A compelling storytelling style that helps users — and our products — shine together.
When not doing ID, I enjoy working out (Crossfit), playing video games (currently Diablo IV), reading (She Comes First), doing artsy stuff (digital art), going around nature with my dog, meeting with friends and sleeping… :)
