” I want to facilitate meetings between innovation & culture.”

My work is about empowerment and positive change. I explore these two topics through creativity, design, and the exchange of knowledge. This is reflected in my background and past.

I am a designer and entrepreneur living in Eindhoven.
With a broad background in Industrial Design, Cultural Management and Education I am involved in a broad range of projects. Transcending disciplines means that I am always looking for new skills to learn and new connections to make with experts and learners. So I am always looking forward to meeting you!

How I grew into
Design, Culture and Eduction

Innovation & design

As a child I was always dreaming about the sci-fi future. It motivated me to start my education at the TU/e where everything was focused on Empowering the future.  I became more critical on the role of innovation and technology in relation to our everyday culture. 

I want to research the experiences that I create to be sure that users and stakeholders get what they want –and need. Involving them means we can dream of a new future together. 

  • (2015) Bachelor Industrial Design
    at Technical University Eindhoven

Culture

Change can be considered a clash of the old vs the new: A clash of cultures and rituals. I learned to see culture as something that is fluid and alive. We don’t lose everything when we change something in our rituals; Often it makes us stronger/smarter/better. 

I bring method to the madness. Being able to structure how you (can) change and how the world around you changes brings inspiration, fun and hope. 

  • (2016) MA Art & Cultural management
    at Maastricht University

Education

Giving in to continuous development of culture and technology means that we need positive confrontations with new perspective. I saw a parallel between the experiences of teachers who empower people to dive into new experiences everyday. 

With the ambition to learn more on teaching I also got into helping young people to explore their skills and ambitions as future creative professionals.

  • (2019) PDG certification from
    Windesheim University of applied sciences

Through the Toekomstenstudio I now offer my skills and experience.
I am excited about every project where I get to structure the exchange of knowledge,
through research (curiosity) and creativity.
