Hi! I'm Johnny
Hi! I'm Johnny
I’m a digital creator based in The Hague, combining design, cinematography, and technology to bring ideas to life. With a background in film, industrial design and storytelling, I enjoy exploring new ways to build immersive experiences and experiment, whether through websites, AI tools, film, or photography or anything else I am able to explore.
My Story
I grew up in a village in Germany, where I first discovered my love for experimenting: building, filming, coding. My parents worked in gastronomy and always encouraged creativity, which led me to explore how technology could be used to shape experiences. During the pandemic, I set up my own studio and developed my skills in design, film, and photography.

My Approach & Skills
I’ve worked with clients across mobility, culture, food, and tech, creating tools, stories, and visuals that connect. I like to approach each project with curiosity and openness, working closely with others to design experiences that are both thoughtful and practical. In general I love experimenting with new tools and figuring out new challenges, following the motto my parents taught me, that you should try everything at least once.
My Values
Collaboration is key
Creative work is never just about the tools, it’s about people. I enjoy working closely with others to shape ideas into something tangible and unexpected. I value transparency, shared ownership, and the kind of collaboration where trust and curiosity lead the way.
Multidisciplinary by Nature
From brand identities to short films, 3D visuals to booking platforms. I’ve always enjoyed working across formats and industries. I don’t like being boxed into one medium. Instead, I treat each project like a new language to learn and translate into something useful and expressive.
Always Exploring
I’m constantly experimenting, whether it’s building AI avatars, designing interactive exhibitions, or writing short stories on the side. I like ideas that stretch the usual, blend different tools, and challenge what creative work can be.
My Creative Kit
Over time, I’ve built up a toolbox that lets me move between design, development, and production with ease. Whether it’s prototyping out ideas in Figma or editing a full video in DaVinci, I use the tools that best support the idea, and am always happy to try out a new one.

Why "ftre.co"?
The name ftre.co, short for “future company”, has been with me longer than you might expect. I actually wished for the domain as a Christmas gift when I was 14, dreaming of building something creative and techy that would last. Somehow, it stuck around.
What started as a childhood curiosity has grown into a space where I share my work, experiments, and ideas. It reflects how I see the creative process: forward-thinking, adaptable, and always evolving just like the world we find ourselves in.
