Creating and handcraft has been a part of me since childhood, from crafting pink pluche bags to sketching ballet dancers and cats on the small notepads in our kitchen.

My parents were key influences—my dad, a sculptor, introduced me to clay, while my mom, a knitting and sewing teacher, sparked my love for textiles. Playing with leftover fabrics at her work, a fashion institute, is where my passion for clothing and design truly began.

I pursued Fashion Design at ArtEZ Academy of arts in Arnhem in 2009, a period of both creative growth and self-discovery. After graduating in 2013, it took time to reconnect with my creativity. I had to let go of that inner voice: "Is it innovative and new enough?" Slowly, I began creating again for the pure joy of it.

In 2016, a trip to India opened my eyes to the beauty of handcrafts again, especially block printing, where I combined my love of drawing with textiles. Today, I continue to create intuitively, focusing on comfort, elegance, and sustainability, drawing inspiration from nature, friends, and life.
