Cool Classic Rally 2025

A vintage Porsche wasn't featured yet in the young but colorful tradition of Cool Classic rally posters and flyers, so a 356 Convertible was an excellent choice. The color scheme arose naturally over time, making the car both blend in and coming your way at high speeds. The geometric background fits the tradition of previous Cool Classic Rally designs.

Gooise Caférally Competitie 2025

A moody atmosphere of a long night ride, with an upcoming petrol station not only lighting up the horizon, but most of all the mood of a worn out driver. A true moment of automotive enlightenment, known to each driver all over the globe.

All There Is, website

A minimal design with focus on great photography and matching color scheme. Transforming the method, character and style of Martje Witzel into a great design and user experience was a beautiful challenge.

about me

Portrait of Wouter van Waning, showing only his left side, on a yellow background.

Creating, building, writing, exploring concepts, setting things in motion: just some words to describe a large portion of my life and day to day work. Be it with words, code, imagery, or in real life by bringing people together, whenever a project comes up, usually the incentive to start building isn't far behind.

In the past twenty years I've scraped together a large portfolio in different disciplines, all with the common denominator of a pure love for original ideas and practical challenges. Every outcome was a learning experience and adventure. I hope you enjoy my work and feel free to contact me if you'd like to work together!

    Creating capturing concepts

    Building starts with listening. Distilling the functionality and capturing the essence of the future product. What is the current situation and what is the need? This phase entails the most essential steps in the process, where patience, attention, a broad market view and creativity are key.

    Translating concept into beautiful design

    With a clean direction of where to go, the translation to design is where the product comes to life. In this beautiful dance between functionality and esthetics, we work together iterating design ideas until a coherent design has formed that represents your ideas and identity in each and every element.

    Fast & friendly web development

    A fast development process is based on having a clear vision being translated in pixel perfect design, with every functional element being taken into consideration. This results in a fast, future proof website that's easily modified and maintained.

    Creative coaching and brainstorming

    A burning idea, but not sure how this can be manifested? Creativity comes in all forms and sizes, and need a bit of work before they can materialize. Working with the right tools to direct attention to the different facets of the concept, abstract ideas can grow and manifest into tangible product and works of art.
