Sjoerd Buurman
Sjoerd Buurman is the maker of Rolde.nl. He writes the articles and develops the website and interactive 3D map.
His work often starts with a question: how does this really work, and what can we find out about it?
Looking into the details
Sjoerd likes to investigate what lies behind a report or claim. He compares sources, reads original documents and asks further questions when something is unclear.
The subject might be a council decision, a place’s history or a practical issue affecting residents. Curiosity and attention to detail help him connect the dots and check the information.
From sources to a clear story
On Rolde.nl, he turns that research into readable stories, with facts, context and references to sources.
His experience as a designer and programmer helps him present complex subjects clearly, both in writing and through digital applications.
