Inspired by bold colors, thoughtful design, and a personal touch, I run a one-person creative studio in Nijmegen. Moving between graphic design and printmaking, my work centers on book design and colored paper, where analog and digital techniques meet and intertwine.
          Alongside my freelance work as a graphic designer, where I mainly work for organizations in the cultural sector and create visual identities, books, zines, posters, and more, I create work as a color artist. I develop self-initiated projects and artworks, driven by a deep love for paper, materiality, and an endless fascination with color and the impact it has. In this work, I explore the interaction between color, form, texture and context experimenting with layering, printing techniques, and the tactile qualities of materials.
