What makes me tick?
The moments in life when everything is in sync. Such as wanting to see a great movie on the big screen and discovering Inception is still playing. Or feeling like having osso bucco and finding all the ingredients in the fridge.

I also love turning up the volume of my iMac because the music playing fits my mood. And if it doesn't, having the choice to listen to one of the other 30,000 titles on my playlist that does.

However, all these and endless other moments only become magic because of the people I choose to share them with, namely my wife and daughters, family, and close friends.

To learn more about me and my weird sense of humour (Simon made me write that), check out my web site, jeroentenberge.com.

Valuable pictures

A picture is worth a thousand words.

We've all heard this phrase, and it's true. However, if the picture doesn't convey the message intended, it can lead to a thousand words of discontent. And if the picture represents a brand or a product, it can cause the loss of a thousand customers. The power of pictures is often underestimated.

Like most kids, I started drawing pictures at an early age, but continued to do so when most turned their attention to other things. Coming from a family steeped in the arts, this wasn't frowned upon, but encouraged. Six years of formal training at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in The Hague added the skills and knowledge I needed to confidently found my own design company at age 23.

The company grew steadily, with a business partner and 12 employees joining me as we designed corporate identities and branding for bigger and bigger companies. It suddenly became time to 'downshift'.

So I changed hemispheres in 2004, followed by a three-year stint as creative director at a design company in Wellington. Now I play my supporting role here at Nakedize, and I have my own design company again.

Drawing from almost a quarter-century of international experience in design and branding, I work for and with those whom are as passionate about what they do as I am about design. My days are filled with drawing pictures worth thousands of positive words, and that's just the way I like it.
