Hidde is Except's resident millipede. His uncanny ability to learn virtually everything in a heartbeat when he sets his mind to it gives our office organizational superpowers. 

Hidde's special powers allow him to make a camera out of rubber band and chewing gum, if pressed. We've seen him do it!

Hidde's acute mind, knowledge about global issues, societal complexity and visual communication skills make for a highly valued all-round team member, and help carry many of Except's projects to a higher level.

Hidde has a bachelors in industrial design engineering from the Delft University of Technology, and has worked on architecture, area planning, industrial design, graphic design and various art projects in the Netherlands.
