As an experienced and independent spatial designer, I specialize in creating public narrative environments. My expertise spans exhibition design, scenography, corporate interiors, and healthcare spaces. At the heart of my work is a deep focus on the user and audience experience, with storytelling serving as the guiding framework. I strive to craft mesmerizing spaces and intricate details that elevate the content for the public.
I believe in fostering a collaborative relationship with my clients and their teams. It’s essential to me that the identity of each client remains central throughout the design process. I approach every project as a creative, communal journey—from initial research and concept development to delivery and follow-up.
To help navigate the complexities of each project, I provide bespoke frameworks that assist in decision-making, prioritize time and resources, bridge gaps within teams, and ensure mutual goals and high standards are maintained. After all, clear communication is the foundation of success.
With years of experience coaching, teaching, and grading at various art institutes, I’m adaptable to multiple roles—whether as a concept developer, designer, creative director, quality-driven consultant, or practical project manager. I thrive in creative teams and often collaborate with other designers and artists on my projects. I value no-nonsense, straightforward professionalism at every level.
As the proud co-founder and director of design firm OPERA-Amsterdam, I worked alongside Frans Bevers and a talented team for over 25 years on prestigious national and international projects. In 2012, I took the next step in my career and established my one-woman studio, leaving OPERA in the capable hands of its current owners.
