Marcel Deelen

Senior Webflow Developer / Low-code Expert

Delft, Netherlands
I’m multidisciplinary. I started off by converting a pen and ink studio into an Apple workplace back in 1991. Then in 1997, I helped to set up an internet studio for one of Hollands’ biggest advertising agencies.

In between it all I initiated the Reykjavik to Foundation, working on 39 Icelandic Cultural Festivals across 4 continents, before moving to Iceland in 2006 to become Digital Design Director for TBWA. There I expanded the possibilities by focussing on emerging low-code tools. And as such started working in Webflow in 2013.

After 15 years it was time to say goodbye to Iceland and return to The Netherlands, where I now work for a German digital agency as a Senior Webflow Developer / Low-code specialist. Aside from giving guidance and advice to clients and co-workers and designing the odd website, I spend most of my working hours as a full-stack Webflow Developer.
