Freelance
I take on work alongside my own projects. A fixed rhythm with one client, no loose jobs in between.
One client, a fixed rhythm
I work a set number of days per week. How many days and at what rate we agree per engagement, because that depends on how long it runs and on what has to be built.
Work that suits me: brand architecture, design systems and the construction underneath. Logos calculated on fixed proportions. Design tokens and guidelines a printer or developer can follow without asking. And the building itself: UI design, Next.js platforms, data layers in Supabase, follow-up through n8n. From locking a system down to building it.
An outside judgement
Sometimes the work is done and everyone has looked at it too long. Then it needs testing from outside. I don't take it over. I say what I see and why it breaks.
Second opinion · from €300
You send the material beforehand. I go through it and give my judgement in one conversation. For a decision that needs making. You get the substance afterwards on one page, so you can pass it on.
Project review · from €900
I work through a finished or nearly finished project. You get it back in writing: what holds, where it leaks and what needs attention first. Each point states what has to happen, in language the developer or designer acts on directly.
System audit · from €1,800
I test a full brand or identity system against its own logic. Colour, type, grid and logo held against each other, and against what suppliers actually make of them. For anyone who wants the construction checked, not one project. The report goes straight to the party that fixes it. No explanation from me needed.
Amounts exclude VAT. What it comes to depends on the scope. You get the fixed amount before I start, not afterwards.
Something to discuss?
Write briefly what it is about. What exists, what has to be finished and by when. A link to the work usually says more than a long explanation.
You get a personal reply, usually within a working day. If it is not a fit for me, I say so straight away and tell you why.
Rather just send an email? That works too. demy@vanrink.com
Work under confidentiality
A brand that has not launched yet is sensitive. I sign your non-disclosure agreement, or send you mine. I show nothing from a running engagement without written permission, my own portfolio included, and that does not change once the work ships.
