Digital Marketing Manager

Can you believe this? My whole childhood was a lie.

Just spotted em dashes in a Russian kids' book by an author who passed away in 1981.

She was using AI this whole time. Breaks my heart 😔

Me, respectfully lurking on your profile after you viewed mine and chose silence.

Do high school reunions happen anywhere except movies and books?

The idea of getting in touch with anyone from high school (except the one friend I'm intentionally still in touch with) actually sounds like a nightmare 😅

I'm always honored when people want to connect with me for my..

Wait, uh...

Let me check my notes.

Athletic prowess 🤔 

Yeah, that's the one.

How offended should I be that a ghostwriter is pitching to me, a ghostwriter? 😂😭

Petition for LinkedIn to add reactions to job vacancies.

I want to ❤️ the awesome job opportunities.

I also want to 😂 the ridiculous ones.

Who's in??

LinkedIn connection I've interacted with regularly for 2 years: *changes profile picture*

Me:

Just rejected like 30 connection requests from folks I wanted to connect with.. Because I hit ✖️ on autopilot instead of ✔️ 




So that's how I'm doing this Sunday 🫠

I knew LinkedIn was freaky when I shared a photo of myself with a post, and a random stranger told me my exact height 🫥



And that was, like.. 3 years ago? Can't even imagine what folks can calculate and pinpoint based on a photo now.

Be careful what you're putting out there! Online privacy is an illusion.

If I saw you visit my profile after my last post, I just know you're looking through my image posts, trying to calculate my height 🤨

Me after writing 30 AWESOME posts that I can't wait to share, but I have to "spread them out throughout the month" 🙄

I know the exact reason why 'weird LinkedIn' is taking off right now, and it's a pretty obvious one. 



Humor remains the one thing that simply cannot be outsourced to AI, no matter how hard you try. 

The best funny stories? They're from people. 

The most hilarious memes? Humans created those. 

The most random ideas? Yep, human brains are responsible for those bad boys. 

The 'weird LinkedIn' angle is peak humanity and originality. 

Corrupt CEOs and unsuspecting Founders can try to outsource anything and everything to AI while leaving marketers and creatives in the dust.. 

But they will NEVER take away our humor 😎

Why do you think 'weird LinkedIn' has been trending for so long?

Still asking ChatGPT or Claude your questions? I drink at least 80% less water while being at least 80% cooler and 80% more original. Ask me in the comments instead 😎

LinkedIn changing everyone's account language randomly like..

Them: Spring in the Netherlands is SO beautiful with all the tulips! Are you enjoying it? 

Me, who didn't realize I'm allergic to the nature in the Netherlands until I moved here:

International Women's Day is just around the corner, so here's a marketing reminder for every single company who is planning a post or campaign around it.. 

Don't do it for show. Only do it if you're genuinely doing something of value for gender equality and women's rights. 

Because there's nothing more embarrassing than making a "Happy International Women's Day!" post as a company who..

- Has a C-suite composed exclusively (or almost exclusively) of men

- Doesn't offer accommodations for maternity leave or health issues faced by women

- Looks the other way when women in the company face sexual harassment

I remember working for a company who made an International Women's Day celebratory post, even though the staff was 95% male, there wasn't a single woman in a leadership position, and one of the top people in the company made women uncomfortable around every corner with his questionable behaviors and remarks.

Don't be the company who does that. 

Make your International Women's Day posts if you want; profit off your Women's Day campaigns if that's what you see fit. 

But if you do that, you better be doing something of value for gender equality and women's rights — whether it be in your company, or on a higher level. 

Anyone else cringe on March 8th every year when companies who clearly don't care about women make those cheap marketing posts?

PS - I'll always be the first to speak about these topics in the workplace and marketing space. Does it make you uncomfortable? Good.

Duolingo and LinkedIn are doing a collab on some of y'all's accounts right now. IYKYK 👀

Creating eye-catching designs isn’t just a ‘nice to have’ - it’s essential. So, why isn’t your design game on point?

I’m Jane - an introvert with a design whip and a sarcasm edge. Imagine minimalism and flamboyance having a scandalous affair, resulting in visuals that are the lovechild of a ninja and a disco ball. 

𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀:

✅ Your graphics and visual assets are the first thing potential clients see
✅ Just like a dating app you swipe and discard based on visuals.

So, if you’re not grabbing attention and are just feeling meh instead of YASSS. Then you’ve come to the right place.

𝗪𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝘁?

Let’s get real. When it comes to killer design, it isn’t enough to just slap lipstick on a logo and hope for the best. Nope, you need way more than that! you need a full 360 authentic visual brand identity.
 
Your visuals are the first step in the buying journey, and first impressions matter - think of it like Tinder for business. You either swipe left, or you engage, it's that simple.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝘀:

➡️ Creativity: To make your visuals stand out in a crowded place and grab attention.
➡️ Precision: To craft designs that speak volumes and make your brand unforgettable.

Lucky for you, I’m the maestro and creative assassin of graphic design. I’ve crafted standout visuals for numerous brands like CityAM, Four Seasons, Château Latour, United Nations, and Lea Turner, to name a few.

Graphic Design Extraordinaire

“100k+ followers looks impressive, until you scratch the surface...”

I used to think that follower count and engagement on here meant expertise, credibility, and quality of work.

But at the end of the day LinkedIn is still just a another social media platform. 
And some people just play the game better than others.

A lot of what you see is:
➡️ Smoke and mirrors,
➡️ engagement pods,
➡️ bought followers,
➡️ paid Forbes "Look at me I finally made it" type of features,
➡️ and success stories stretched thinner than a Monday morning coffee.

That doesn’t mean everyone with a big following is faking it.
Plenty of people have earned their audience and business success the right way.

But remember, not everything you see here is as shiny as it looks.

So take it all with a pinch of salt,
and be careful who you listen to (or give your money to). 😉

Not everyone likes working with me...

And that's totally ok. 

If you want someone who;

❌ Does check-in calls every other day.
❌ Is available 24/7 via WhatsApp or email.
❌ Treats freelancers like staff instead of equals.
❌ Treats unlimited revisions as part of the package.
❌ Works from your cousin’s “quick sketch” as a final brief. 
❌ Charges designer rates but does agency‑level work overnight.
❌ Tells you what you want to hear, instead of what you need to hear. 
❌ Is the walking & talking LinkedIn profile of corporate behaviour and image.

I’m most likely not the right designer for you. 
And our working relationship will sink faster than the Titanic.

But if you’re after someone who...

✅ Gets things done.
✅ Doesn’t do sugarcoating it.
✅ Takes ownership, not orders. 
✅ Keeps things clear, honest, and efficient. 
✅ Solves problems instead of creating new ones. 
✅ Brings clarity when everyone else brings chaos.
✅ Delivers designs that actually make a difference.

Then we will get along just fine.

I'm not here to do busywork. 
I'm here to get sh*t done. ✌🏻

I am not a business owner. 
And I don't want to be one...

At least not in the traditional sense. 

I have no interest in;
❌ scaling to 7 figures,
❌ having a team,
❌ or an office.

Call me an independent, freelancer or self-employed graphic designer, but I don't see myself as a 'business owner.'

Because for me, that means:
• I choose my clients.
• I choose my projects.
• I choose when and where I work.
• I choose how much is “enough.”

No office politics. 
No team meetings. 
No salaries to worry about.
No pressure to endlessly scale.

So if you are a freelancer who doesn’t dream of building an “agency” or “empire”, you are not thinking small.

You are just here designing a business that fits you.

And there is nothing wrong with that. 😉

Guess what?

And this might shock you...

You are not the main character of anyone’s LinkedIn feed.

✅ So just say the thing you have been watering down for LinkedIn. 
✅ Share the opinion that might lose you a few lukewarm followers. 
✅ Post the selfie that screams “yes, I do touch grass sometimes.”

Just embrace your inner chaos gremlin…

And stop worrying about what some keyboard warrior might have to say. 😉

Being an introvert isn’t what you think it is…

I had a conversation with a close friend the other day.

She’s nearly 30. 
And only just realised she’s an introvert.

“I always thought I was an extrovert…” she said.

Why? Because:
- She isn’t awkward or shy around people.
- She can be the loudest person in the room.
- She doesn’t always want to be alone.
- She definitely doesn’t lack ambition.

And I’m not either. Even though I’d happily label myself a full‑blown introvert.

That chat made me realise most people still don’t really get what “introvert” & “extrovert” actually mean.

The real difference isn’t:
“Likes people” vs “hates people”
“Confident” vs “socially anxious”

It’s how we recharge our batteries.

As introverts, we reset by: 
✅ Being alone, going for a quiet walk 
✅ Hanging out in low‑stimulation environments. 
(Ideally at home on the sofa with a cup of tea and your favorite trashy tv show)

Extroverts reset the opposite way:
✔️ People.
✔️ Noise.
✔️ Group activities.

That’s their fuel.

Both introverts and extroverts can be:
• Shy or confident.
• Ambitious or unmotivated.
• Socially smooth or crazy awkward.

Being an introvert doesn’t automatically make you a socially awkward weirdo hiding in a cabin in the woods. 

It just means your “low battery” light turns off when the world finally shuts up for a bit.

So how about we stop treating introverts as socially broken and start seeing it as a different operating system? ✌🏻

The hardest part of good and clean design isn’t what you add...

It is about what you leave out.

So many people cling to every element like their life depends on it:
“But what if people don’t get it?”
“Shouldn’t we add more icons?”
“What about more logos?”
“One extra CTA won’t hurt, right?”

The truth? In most cases, it probably will.

Good design is about clarity and confidence.

Look at Apple:
✔️ One image
✔️ One message
✔️ Total confidence
✔️ No clutter

When you strip away the noise:
✅ Your message gets louder. No distractions competing for attention.
✅ Your audience relaxes. Clean design feels calm and focused.
✅ You look intentional. Less filler = more confidence.

Clearer message, better results.
Make it simple for people to take action. 

So before you add another paragraph, graphic, or “just in case” line to your banner or post, ask yourself:

👉 Does this make my message clearer or just more confusing and louder?

Because clarity converts. Clutter confuses.

A web designer doesn't equal a web developer. 

Yes, they both work on websites, but their jobs are as different as white and black.

Here is the big difference:

➡️ Web Designers: 
- Focus on how the website looks and feels.
- Choose colors, fonts, layouts, and images.
- Make sure the site is user-friendly (and not a maze).
- Use tools like Photoshop, Figma, or Sketch - not code.

➡️ Web Developers: 
- Build the website with programming languages like HTML, CSS, JavaScript.
- Debug code (and question their life choices when it doesn’t work).
- Make sure buttons actually work when clicked.
- Handle databases, servers, and functionality.

In short: designers bring the style, developers bring the substance. 

Both are essential, just don’t ask one to do the other’s job, because the result won't be pretty.
