For my hometown Leeuwarden, in the north of the Netherlands, I created a wide range of animations, explainers, and commercials.

In 2018, Leeuwarden was named the Cultural Capital of Europe — a major event that brought millions of visitors to the city. To support the campaign, I worked closely with the event team to produce TV spots, online promos, and animated explainers used across broadcast and digital platforms. This page features a selection of the many projects I proudly contributed to during this unforgettable year.

The Story

Leeuwarden-Friesland embraced its year as Cultural Capital of Europe with boldness and imagination.

In a time of rapid change and growing diversity, the region chose to lead by example, transforming from a close-knit community into an open one. Through creativity, courage, and a willingness to listen and adapt, Leeuwarden-Friesland sparked dialogue, inspired new perspectives, and helped shape change at a local, national, and European level.

Our era is changing. The world has grown and society is more diverse. It takes a great deal of courage, creativity and imagination to deal with those changes. Leeuwarden-Friesland tackles its Capital of Culture year by sticking its head above the parapet. By bringing about change in the province, country and Europe in order to go from a community to an open community.
