yes. they named an award after me.

I’m Oscar. Born in 1988. The same year the national soccer team won the European Championship. Coincidence? Yes. But now that I’ve imprinted this thought in your mind that I’m from an exceptionally “good year”, you’ll know that, like a fine bottle of wine, I’ll only get better with age.

With an academic background in communication and information sciences, I walked into the textual side of creative communication early on. Working as a creative copywriter for advertising agencies most of my career.

In the meantime, the “Art side” was calling for me so strongly, I couldn’t resist. So, through the years I challenged myself to develop this visual side of creative communication in my spare time. I’ve developed and cultivated this side for a while now, growing confidence by the year. But I noticed that things really start to fly when I’m free to combine all my skills into a hybrid (Art & Copy) creative role. So, here I am. Oscar, Freelance Hybrid Creative. Nice to meet you!

Aside from a working man, I’m also a father of two and an avid (trail)runner with way too many hobbies. Currently living in Haarlem.
