About

Hi, I’m Anouk, an art director in fashion. I believe emotional impact builds the strongest, most lasting connections. My work is strategic yet intuitive; I am collaborative and hands-on.

I bring an entrepreneurial spirit and a drive to shape what’s next. Rooted in the culture of the city, I also find energy in nature—whether it’s hiking up a mountain, surfing the sea, or working out in the gym.
