Hi, i’m Sjors Roelofs
I’m a Dutch front-end developer and partner at Studio Encode
I’m on a mission 👨🏻🚀 to simplify the internetKeep it simple, stupid (KISS) is a design principle which states that designs and/or systems should be as simple as possible. Wherever possible, complexity should be avoided in a system—as simplicity guarantees the greatest levels of user acceptance and interaction.source. Surrounded by creative minds, we tend to come up with some amazing and crazy ideas to launch a new website or app – which easily leads to increased complexity in a system.
My objective is to bring things back to the basics, while still embracing creative ideas to come up with innovative and inspiring solutions that end-users will understand – while keeping costs lowI'm Dutch, so trust me on this one 🧀 and maintenance easy.
