About me

Hi, I'm Sophie! 👋🏼 A few years ago I graduated in Creative Business, a degree that taught me how to balance creativity with a more strategic way of thinking. That combination stuck with me. I like making things that are visually strong, but I also naturally like to think about the bigger picture: who it's for, how it's positioned, and why it works.
I've always been creative. As a teenager I quickly figured out I loved making visual things, so I started my own studio, sophiesconcepts, where I spent years designing for artists and musicians. Which gave me the opportunity to combine work with something I actually enjoy, because music has always been a part of my life, I actually play guitar and piano myself! Outside of all that, I enjoy being outdoors. Hiking, running, winter sports, etc.

Always focused on growing, and learning more about development, design and the people I'm building for.

My career

A mix of creativity and code has defined my career so far. From designing for the music industry to building and designing webshops, below you’ll find the timeline.
