About us

Hello all, I am Christian Godschalk and I am the founder of Digital Creativity. After studying media design at the Art Academy of Antwerp, I joined a centre for the arts. After a cutback, I made the leap to entrepreneurship. First as a self-employed person and later as an employer to a team of enthusiastic people. My love for technology and my creativity are excellent tools to realise my big dream: A world where everyone starts using technology creatively and can thus drive innovations. Do you have a question? Don't hesitate and contact me directly! I or one of my colleagues will answer your question quickly.

Hello, I'm Samantha and have been working for Digital Creativity as an event manager for a few years now. I mainly focus on the children's parties and events we organise, but I also work as a workshop leader. Thanks to my CMV training and my experience with animation work, I can easily empathise with children and know better than anyone how to entertain them. I really enjoy doing this! When children go home with a smile, my mission is accomplished!

My name is Patricia IJpelaar. Before my job at Digital Creativity, I worked with children and in disability care for many years. I also had several jobs in the office. I have been working for Digital Creativity as a workshop leader/teacher for over a year now. I also do the administration, for example invoicing, scheduling workshops, etc. This work, together with teaching, makes my job challenging and versatile. I enjoy working for this organisation. What I like most about working with children is the honesty and response I sometimes get from them during a workshop. The fact that I also get to teach them new media skills makes my job the most fun of all.

Quite early on, when I was twelve, I did my social internship with Christian. I liked it so much that I stuck around and did my internship for my media design studies at his company as well. Even now I still work for Digital Creativity. For instance, I help run the workshops. I give the students practical tips and help them solve all kinds of problems, both technical and design-related. I also model during the photography courses. I enjoy the challenge of introducing people of different age groups to the possibilities offered by the digital world. Contact with people and their learning processes inspires me on a personal level.

Hello all! I am Esther and may join the Digital creativity team. After my bachelor's degree in art history, I started the teacher training programme at Utrecht University. In addition to visual arts, there I also became involved in other art forms such as dance and film. At Digital creativity, I get to share my knowledge with students of all ages. Because I visit many different schools and classes, every day is different and never boring!

My name is Tim Hartendorp from Roosendaal.
At Digital Creativity, I work in a combination position. On the one hand, I spend several days in education as a Digital Creativity coach, which I really enjoy doing. On the other hand, I fulfil an important role within the organisation alongside Christian as a commercial jack-of-all-trades. The innovative nature of Digital Creativity appeals to me enormously, so I want to contribute to the healthy growth of the company with my commercial experience. My personality is often characterised as spontaneous, good-humoured, creative, intuitive and as a people person. It is therefore my strength to always strive for sustainable collaborations with our clients, where I like to think in terms of possibilities.

More on this later.
