About Geffrey van der Bos

Headshot of a man with light skin, high forehead, and eyes with friendly laughter lines. He has short hair and a short bronze beard with a large mustache. He is wearing a black crew-neck sweater against a dark gray background.

Designer helping people navigate financial stress at Stichting NSR. Privacy-conscious, plain-text advocate and allergic to vendor lock-in. Husband to Illustrator Julia; guardian of Loki the Shiba Inu. Obsessed with extreme music and music science.
