Henk was interviewed by Yves Peters for the blog of ReType: a type foundry in The Hague, the Netherlands. As we had used “Kade,” a font by Retype, Ramiro Espinoza (Founder) was interested in finding out more about our typographic work and Henk’s trajectory as a graphic designer over the last 35 years, and counting.

The MFAH's exhibition design for Frida: The Making of an Icon was inspired by our catalogue design. It was nice to see how some of the graphic elements we had developed were incorporated into the wall graphics. An amazing exhibition and strongly recommend for a visit! It’s up a little longer in in Houston, or next year at the Tate in London.
I was beyond honored to be included in the collection of Dutch Graphic Roots, a platform that documents the work of many important Dutch designers (Wim Crouwel, Jan van Toorn, Anton Beeke, to mention only a few). Having worked for over 35 years as a designer, this was a sentimental journey that reminded me, yet again, how lucky I have been to end up in this profession! The site is organized and curated by Robert van Rixtel. My good friend Robert Tombs wrote the text; Thera Van Assen (my sister) did the translation; final editing was done by Sybrand Zijlstra; and the portrait picture is by Aatjan Renders.
