Charming Design

About Niek Kouwenberg

So here I am, Niek Kouwenberg, the man behind Charming Design. I thought it would be nice if you knew who was making all those websites, so I made this small biography/profile page. If you want to contact me, take a look at the contact page.

Story of a Lifetime

I am a 21 year old guy from Beek en Donk, a small town in the south of the Netherlands. I was born on February 21st, 1986 in Eindhoven. I was raised a farmer's son, but I found out web development suited me better. I've recently finished my ICT study and got my Bachelor of Information and Communication Technology degree.

Passions, Interests and Hobby's

I've got three great passions: internet/web development, swimming, and music. The web design part is extensively described in the company description.

I actually don't like sports. Watching sports is plainly boring (except Le Dakar), and I can't understand why people go to the gym, and start walking on a treadmill or riding a bicycle trainer, when they can do it outside for free. Apart from this—I do sport myself. I swim three times a week with the local swim team Hydra, and I still haven't even come close to any record.

I love to listen to good music, and I love to go see bands live. My definition for good music is genres like Rock 'n Roll, Hard Rock, Metal, Punk Rock, Ska and some outdated pop. And I love bands like Queen, Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, Peter Pan Speedrock, Immortal and Johnny Cash.
