is a designer currently based in The Netherlands (Rotterdam) and Germany (Riedlingen). A graduate from Design Academy Eindhoven, she works across mediums of installation, object and visual narrative. The underlying themes and curiosities that spark her interests and imagination are: species-specific perspectives, species cohabitation, perception, and environmental and eco-psychology.
Previously, she has worked for Dutch textile artist Claudy Jongstra, as conceptor, designer, and photographer. During her time at the studio, she had been involved in various projects and commissions such as the nomadic installation ‘Woven Skin’, specifically for its stops in Palermo, as part of the Collateral Events of Manifesta 12, and in New York City for Climate Week NYC 2018, the shop window installation for the Palermo branch of Hermès Italy, the collaborations with fashion houses Maison Margiela (2018) and Viktor & Rolf (2019), and various artworks for architects and private clients in The Netherlands and the US. Furthermore, she spoke at the lecture series ‘Food for thought: Future of Fashion’, hosted and organised by Farm of the World as part of Leeuwarden European Cultural Capital 2018 about the environmental and social relevance of Claudy Jongstra’s work, alongside Pascale Gatzen and Renee van der Hoek.
In 2018, she was commissioned to create a site-specific installation for the exhibition Art = Artis, for the zoological garden Artis through the Amsterdam-based creative agency MOAM.
Most recently, she launched her project ‘A View On / Of Birds’, an observatory as part of a selection of land art projects by the cooperative Dal van de Kleine Beerze. The project has now been open to the public since September 2020.
