I’m a multi-faceted maker from The Netherlands. Ever since I was young, I’ve had the powerful urge to create. I’ve always been fascinated by telling stories, creating art and writing both fiction and non-fiction. I love the process of ideation, research and creation. Any new challenges I’ll take head-on and I love to learn. Whether it’s about a subject I know nothing about, or a new technique I’ve yet to master.
The high school I attended, had a specialised arts and crafts program. While I was there, I dabbled in everything; from shoemaking to metalwork and from sewing to making lamps. I also took extra-curriculars in various types of making.
I went on to persue a bachelor’s in journalism, during which time I specialized in crafting cross-media stories on subjects of cultural and/or societal significance. I also focused on my abilities to do research, host interviews and create complex and layered stories.
During my bachelor’s, I started copywriting. To succeed, I took extra classes in marketing, communication studies and community management.
After graduation, I continued working as a copywriter, content marketeer and client manager. I’ve written copy for many well-known companies, including JBL and the Red Cross.
Copywriter by day, artist by night.
