I’m a WordPress developer who cares how things look and feel. I’ve built more than 20 WordPress sites at Creation Labs, where I lead builds from scope to launch and mentor two junior developers. I also make social content and take photos on the side.
Looking for a full-time or 24–32 hour role, remote or hybrid near Den Helder, Schagen or Alkmaar. I can already work in the Netherlands, so there’s no visa to sort out.
Go on, click around. Everything on the windowsill does something.
Most of these come from Creation Labs, a digital agency in South Africa. I joined to manage content and became a web developer within six months.
“Thank you for believing in my vision from day 1.” Nadja, founder of Little Treehugger
My first WooCommerce shop, built in Oxygen Classic for a brand that turns donated hospital blankets and uniforms into clothes and little “Nogwaja” bunnies. I designed it, drew its doodles and trained the founder to run it. It’s still the project closest to my heart.
Designed & built at Creation Labs, with WooCommerce and Oxygen Classic.

Oryx Health
A men’s health platform with strict rules about how prescription products can be marketed. I built the content structure underneath it: custom post types, taxonomies and dynamic templates, all working alongside a separate patient portal.

McNaught & Co
A law firm wanted proper parallax scrolling, which Oxygen Classic can’t do on its own, so I wired in a parallax library to make it work. I also built the ACF-powered news templates and a post type for the team.

Deutsche Schule Durban
A school website in English and German that brings the school and its foundation together. I co-designed it with our creative director and built it with another developer, using Polylang for the two languages.

This site
The site you’re on. A scrapbook on the outside and a tidy WordPress build underneath: a custom post type for projects, ACF fields for every case study, and illustrations that move.
Personal project
Read the story behind it about This siteTwo of these, Busamed and Impaq, meant moving sites out of older multisite networks.
I also helped with design and testing for AA South Africa, IFP, Scribante Labour and Viva Innovation.
Before websites, I made content, and I still love it: planning posts, writing scripts, editing video and taking photos.
For a year I looked after TowerSpace’s social channels: the content calendar and the ad designs. For SportPix I design the posts that announce large sporting events.
Online-safety lessons for schools. I wrote the scripts, presented every lesson on camera, and edited them in Premiere Pro and After Effects, motion graphics and all.
I love to capture the beauty around me. Mostly pets, often plants, sometimes an unsuspecting bug...
I’m happiest when something looks good and works well. I build in visual builders, and I’m comfortable dropping into PHP, ACF and custom code when they run out.
At Creation Labs, I’m the person clients call when something technical needs explaining. I started out in video: almost five years at CyberSharp, writing, presenting and editing online-safety courses for schools.
A year ago I moved to Den Helder with my partner and our rescue cat, Raisin. I found him as a tiny, sick two-month-old stray and nursed him back to health. He’s almost six now and very much in charge. Off screen you’ll find me walking on the dijk, propagating yet another houseplant, or looking for something to photograph.
