Hi, I’m Diederik. Freelance creative available for hire. For the past 4 years I’ve helped prod co Fledge grow as a creative partner. Before that I worked 8 years in agencies - in team or as a solo creative. Now I’m back doing what I get most excited about: seeing the idea pop up on a blank Word page - and turning that concept into reality.
