About

Hi there and welcome to my website!

My name’s Bart and I’m a professional graphic & web designer. I work for a design agency in Brussels (Belgium) where I create logo’s, magazines, brochures, books, websites, interactive applications, do general art direction and many other things. I’m also the nerd techie and resident metal-head at the office, but that might not interest you all that much, I suppose. :^)

Why should you work with me? Well, I excel in fine and perfect typography, vivid colors, different yet appealing ideas and unique looks. Take a look at my portfolio to convince yourself. Feel free to contact me for freelance projects.

Kroost is dutch for ‘offspring’. As a designer I believe that every design I create is a baby for me. I take care of everything and try to do it as perfect as I possibly can.
