Biografie 

Growing up in a creative household, making and experimenting were a natural part of my childhood. Whether I was making films, taking photographs, dressing up, or building furniture for my dollhouse, curiosity was always at the centre. Attending a Waldorf school gave me the freedom to follow that curiosity and explore different ways of making. Driven by my interest in making and design, I studied Interior Design at HMC in Amsterdam. 

A year ago I graduated from the HKU, where I learned to think more freely and creatively, experiment extensively, and gradually develop a style of my own.

In my work, I like to look at what is already there. We live in a world full of objects, with more and more being added all the time. That is why I often work with leftover materials and discarded objects, giving them a second life through my designs. My work is most often intended to be functional, but I find it equally important that it evokes something in the user. At the same time, I don't think every design needs to have a deeper meaning. Sometimes, I simply make something because I enjoy it or because I am curious to see what comes out of it.

I find my inspiration anywhere: in nature, exhibitions, conversations, or the everyday things I come across. I am often drawn to the unexpected, which can become the starting point for a new idea.
