Who is Waldbach?

SOLOPRENEUR & TEAMPLAYER

As a dynamic creative force, Janne Wolterbeek (born 1976, Middelburg) brings his multifaceted design talents to life at Studio Waldbach. While he mostly flies solo, he’s ever enthusiastic to join forces with experts across a breadth of disciplines, both near and distant. In this light, he refers to Studio Waldbach in plural, echoing the harmonious symphony of collaboration.

When he collaboratively weaves ideas with skilled and enthusiastic coders, attentive printing professionals, and a diverse array of other gifted individuals, that’s when a subtle glimmer of ingenuity subtly appears. We must also modestly mention – our client relationships! They are indeed a dynamic and engaging play of teamwork, and that is something we deeply cherish.

Waldbach doesn't just deliver, but thinks ahead. Understands your vision, embraces it, but looks for creative alternatives if something needs to be changed for practicality or design improvement. Highly recommended!
Jesse de VriesCreative Director
Janne van Waldbach lives and breathes design. I worked with him on icons for our school. Briefing was easy and the process was effective. We were always in sync every step of the way. Finally, nice guy!
Rob MarinissenCreative Director & Teacher
Walbach / Janne Wolterbeek collaborated in the design and realization phase of several of my monumental artworks and did a fantastic job. Thinking along, inventive, more than creative and self-willed: exactly what was needed. I can highly recommend Waldbach to anyone. And I will certainly ask him again in the future.
William VerstraetenArtist
Janne's work on the project was fantastic. Rather than simply carry out the brief, he really grasped the concept and demonstrated how we could massively increase leverage, greatly enhancing the original vision. He's proven to be a real value-added asset, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to any team that has a digital requirement.

International Short Film Festival Middelburg

Cover of the programme booklet, designed by Studio Waldbach, along with the visual identity.

After the city went up in flames in World War II, the city of Middelburg was rebuilt, it had risen from the ashes like a Phoenix. The different award categories at the festival were marked by color codes.

Studio Waldbach designed the visual identity and took care of the implementation of all brand expressions across different static and moving media.

Each award category had an option for the audience to cast their vote.

The Igirama Projects William Verstraeten

Studio Waldbach assisted with several ambitious projects by the late Dutch artist William Verstraeten. One of them was the Igirama project: Igirama, as coined by William, is a spherical panorama, with an equirectangular image printed on the inside of a hemisphere, about 12 to 30 meters in diameter, reflected on a giant disc-shaped mirror on the floor. It gives the visitor who enters the Igirama a sense of walking in the sky.

Other proposed locations for a bespoke Igirama installation were the WTC Memorial Museum in New York City, Doha in Qatar, Hiroshima, and others.

Studio Waldbach programmed a web application based on the Google Earth API, to help measure and produce the curved strokes that were to be used inside an Igirama maquette.

The interface of the Igirama Automator, as the web app was baptized. With a floating, collapsible instrument panel, any view of any location could precisely be measured. It also included rulers that could be moved and rotated with high precision.

The projects garnered a lot of global media attention. The Twin Towers Igirama was also presented on TEDx Amsterdam.

Studio Waldbach contributed to the realization of this video presentation, which also serves as an explainer video. This one was produced specifically for the New York Twin Towers Igirama.
