About me

Hi, my name is Jan-Paul Koudstaal and I live just outside the city of Rotterdam in The Netherlands.

As a freelance digital product designer I lead design on a wide range of projects — from native iOS and Android apps to responsive websites, and scalable design systems.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my wife and daughter. From the age of 11, basketball has been my passion, and, to this day, I find joy in the game, hitting the gym, or going for a run or hike outdoors.

I like taking pictures when we travel, and keep track of the books I read and the movies I watch. In my monthly(-ish) newsletter Inspired By I share what recently caught my eye and inspired me.
