Don’t take my word for it
“Michiel Nagtegaal is highly recommended. I have been working with him since October 2019 and wouldn't want to be without him anytime soon. No expensive offices, but a sincere person who delivers top quality and always comes up with well-founded ideas. Michiel is easily and quickly accessible, constantly thinks along, is reliable and interacts in a very professional way with other parties (photographer/programmer) to achieve a perfect result.”

I help my clients with
Creative Consultancy
Not quite sure about the right creative approach? Let me think along. With my extensive experience, strong conceptual skills and analytical thinking ability, I enjoy helping my clients streamline creative processes and help them get back on track.
Visual + Brand Strategy
The objective of a branding strategy is to develop clear, compelling, consistent messages that are easily conveyed. More than 20 years of experience taught me steps in the creative process that ensure this objective is achieved faster and better. Let me create the roadmap for your project. The end result will pay back the investment in design faster.
Illustration
I love to draw! Illustration is often undervalued, but at the same time it is also increasingly being discovered as a fully-fledged alternative to photography. It offers more creative freedom to get your message across and often gives the brand communication an authentic look.
Brand Identity / Logo Design
Need a truly strong brand to boost sales? Making something out of nothing is what I like the most. Preferably at the forefront of the creative processes. Designing a conceptual foundation for future steps. I like discovering the truly unique personality of a brand and creating the strategy that is required to deliver the absolute best outcome possible.
UX and UI Design
UX/UI Design is a tool. Not a goal in itself. A means to achieve business objectives. That's why I often deliver UX/UI design to clients as part of a larger package, often starting with Brand Identity Design. Or translating the newly designed corporate identity into online applications.
