I take up work for electronic controller manufacturer E.D.&A.. They become my first ‘bigger client’ as an independent professional and working with them teaches me some very valuable lessons, including time and project management.

To thoroughly follow up on the multitude of tasks (including this very extensive logo exploration in 2013) E.D.&A. are so kind to assign to me, I build a custom task tracking and project management app which I nonchalantly call ‘Mijn Project’^※. Although it never reaches a public release, it does get picked up by my clients and colleagues and goes on to be a tool of choice for nearly a decade. Meticulous asset management, in particular, becomes an essential part of my services.
