      Concepting teacher for first year students, coach / consultant and assassor for all years within CMD (Communication & Multimedia Design) Creating a community for creative thinking, concepting and design aspects. With this community we try to help students think outside the box, set up solid original concepts and justify their concept en design choices. The book "Concepting: The Journey" is the endresult of my graduation project for Communication & Multimedia Design (CMD). In this little book you'll be taken on a journey through concepting. The book is written as a story in which you will learn about creating strong concepts. Now that I have graduated I would like continue on this track by setting up a couple lectures about concept design.
