Recommendation (Dutch) from Tanja van Riezen: "Karel heeft de vormgeving van het Vakantie Doe-boekje voor mij gedaan. Ik heb onwijs lekker samen gewerkt met Karel. Naast de ideeën voor de vormgeving had Karel ook nog andere adviezen en taalkundige aanpassingen. Karel kwam met een mooie oplossing voor de communicatie betreffende het Vakantie Doe-boekje die ik met eerdere vormgevers nog niet had. Door die oplossing bleven we goed op de hoogte van elkaars werk. Ik zou Karel zeker aanbevelen bij anderen om mee samen te werken!" Show less
