Hi, I’m Falko 👋🏾
Founder of Niemo Studio & specializing in the intersection between web design and development.
Computers have always intrigued me, ever since I was a kid.
I remember my parents bringing home a computer for the first time with Windows 95, and I was fascinated by it. I started learning how to use it, and later on, how to build things with it.
Origin
Back in 2006 when I was 12, I first got into coding by making homebrew apps for the PlayStation Portable (PSP). I didn’t really know what I was doing at the time, but I was having a lot of fun. Sometimes I even managed to make something that worked.
I fooled around with C++, LUA, Adobe Flash and made mini-websites optimized for the PSP’s small screen. The latter was my first introduction to web development.
Later on in highschool I applied these skills to build apps for my TI 84 calculator to help me with my math homework. This helped me understand the basics of programming and how to solve problems with code.
During this time something clicked and I realized that I wanted to do something with computers for a living.
Career
I started my professional career as a product designer at several start-ups back in their early stages:
- Typework / NephroFlow (acquired by Nipro) - Product Designer
- INTUO (aqcuired by Unit4) - Creative Director
- Taglayer - Head of Product
- Compagnon - Co-Founder
Niemo Studio (2025-present)
In 2025 I started my own studio Niemo Studio, where I design and develop websites and digital experiences. My focus lies on creating solutions that are both visually strong and technically flexible, so they can grow with the needs of a business.
With Niemo Studio I combine more than a decade of experience in web development with a personal, hands-on approach.
Bio
📍 I live in a small but lovely city in Belgium 🇧🇪 called Bruges.
In my free time, I like to spend time with my dog, going for a swim and working on side projects. I also enjoy watching movies and tracking them.
