Hey there, welcome to SoftTalk!

SoftTalk is where creativity and software come together. I design, animate, and create the same kind of work I love to teach — from Adobe tools to full creative workflows.

With years of experience in education, I make complex stuff simple — whether it’s through hands-on training, creative workshops, or my YouTube channel packed with practical tutorials.

I’m the SoftTalk guy — creating, teaching, and talking about the tools that bring ideas to life.


I’m Matthijs!

I’m all about diving into the world of creative technologies and digital learning. Whether it’s hands-on sessions on your turf with your own device (BYOD style) or a virtual experience, I’ve got you covered.

No lie, being in the thick of it on-site is where the real fun is for me. There’s something about the energy of a live group that just clicks. And if we’re going virtual, catch me rocking it in an online meeting or spilling the digital knowledge on my YouTube Channel (primarily in the Dutch language).

I’m on a mission to shape and spark the creativity of the upcoming digital maestros through a mix of workshops, talks, and courses.

Oh, and did I mention you can roll with me in both Dutch and English during these sessions? Let’s make learning a blast!
