About Me
"I'm always working on building a better Serge."
My career is propelled by a constant drive to become a broader, stronger, all in all better designer.
My job as a designer is not just about delivering fancy graphics, it's not even always about delivering what the client wants; but about what they need. I look beyond the pretty pictures and ensure the story that needs to be told is put across in the best way for its audience. My illustrations (and photography to a lesser extent) have been published in various books and magazines with a world-wide audience.
"All you need is a sprinkling of Serge Magic."
You take over 2 decades of experience add in a couple of degrees, and sprinkle in a portfolio showcasing work from some of the UK's and Europe's biggest brands (incl. Starbucks, Diageo & SC Johnson amongst others), and you’ll end up with ‘Serge Magic’; A high level of detail, thought-through approach, design flair and punctuality.
I’m an incredibly easy-to-work-with, extremely collaborative safe pair of hands, with a Dutch down to earth-ness (who cringes at all the fluff he’s just told you).

Them About Me
What do my former clients have to say?
Gay Men's Health
Mark Craig
"Serge worked with a group of staff members and volunteers from Gay Men's Health, a Scottish based gay & bisexual men's HIV prevention charity, who had no experience of producing a magazine. With his help, a magazine was produced in less than 3 months, with subsequent magazines being produced every quarter.
During this time all of he'd taken on the role of designer, illustrator and acting as artistic director for magazine photo shoots. Without his skills, expertise and willingness to support staff members and volunteers, this magazine would not have been produced in the timescale or to the high standard that it was."
Freelance Project Manager
Keigh-Lee Paroz
“Serge has been fantastic working with clients to develop exactly what they were looking for, regardless of how well that initial concept was articulated! I have referred him to several clients and he has been flexible, responsive and all-round great to work with.
The creative work he has generated has also always exceeded the expectations of clients; they have really appreciated just how brilliantly he has represented their ideas.”
Central Scotland Police
Fiach Obroin-Molloy
"We have worked with Serge on many occasions over the last year. We have always been impressed with the ability to turn pieces of work around quickly and to be flexible when we need to make changes at short notice.
Serge's fresh approach to design and work helps us to ensure that we can communicate effectively with target markets on key police campaigns. The work which Serge has done to develop our campaigns on counter terrorism, serious and organized crime and hate crime has ensured that we continue to attract attention and for our work."
