Independent experience designer and creative director for clients such as the Rijksmuseum, STRP festival, Booking.com, Red Bull, Bespoke Amsterdam and the Printshop.

Focussed on providing creative direction and developing resonating experience concepts for agencies, brands, and artists. Incredibly ambitious when it comes to helping others gain momentum through clear - and sometimes daring - ideas for engaging concepts and activations.


With a strong background in architecture, visual design, and creative production, I can provide concepts that stand out and create design solutions that fit the aims and means of a project. With my experience in technology and design, supported by my visual communication skills, I can offer clear direction and elaborate closely with designers and production parties, bridging the gap between tech and art.

I love to work in the dynamic of close-knit teams that I form, or become part of. Within these teams, empowering the cross-breeding of ideas of talented and driven like-minded people to create an impact that lasts.
