ABOUT

As a designer I like to explore how to make better use of existing materials, products and spaces. With design I like to contribute in adding more joy, understanding and meaning to people’s lives.

WORK

My designs are characterized by flexibility, simplicity and a social approach. Doing more with less is my motto. I have a passion for reuse and creating flexible solutions. I live and work in Amsterdam. I initiate projects myself and work for companies on request.
