Kiek Swinkels - Owner - Kieks Atelier

Kieks Atelier is a charming creative studio in the center of Valkenswaard, where students are introduced to the art of Delft Blue painting. For her new venture, Kiek enlisted the help of Explose. The team developed a fitting corporate identity, a recognizable logo, communication tools, and a user-friendly website that seamlessly aligns with her craft and target audience.

When I started Kieks Atelier, I knew exactly what I wanted to project: professionalism, reliability, and a style that truly suited me. I also needed a website that was clear and well-functioning. Because I'd enjoyed working with Explose before, I knew right away that I wanted to work with them on this project.

The first meeting immediately gave me confidence. They listened carefully, asked the right questions, and I noticed they genuinely considered my needs. They focused not only on my needs, but also on what would work best for my target audience. The follow-up process also went smoothly. Whenever I needed help with filling or updating the website, they responded quickly and clearly.

I still vividly remember the first presentation of the corporate identity. After all the discussions, I suddenly saw my own identity reflected on the screen. The translation was surprising and fresh, and also much more sophisticated than I could have imagined. A real bull's-eye.

The website and its appearance give me peace of mind. My target audience finds me easily and often says that everything reflects exactly what they experience in the studio. This ensures that students book online and clients have confidence in what I create. For me, Explose is knowledge, creativity, and insight all rolled into one team. And besides: delicious coffee and the feeling of being welcome.

Bart and team, congratulations on 25 years of Explose! And uh... feel free to pick up a brush in my studio sometime.
