NICO KARS
After 10 years of advertising and communication design it was time for new challenges. My expertise as a trainer had expanded throughout the years. Maximising the potential of young creative professionals is what I love to do. During my work I have been involved with the creative side of mobile app development. The role as product owner is one that I am most comfortable with. In all my work the most important thing is connection with people. Connect with me and find out yourself.
