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. I value no-nonsense, straightforward professionalism at every level.

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.

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.
