About

I am a multidisciplinary communication and visual designer with a Master’s in Fine Art and Design from the Sandberg Institute and a Bachelor’s in Graphic Design from the Royal Academy of Art. I collaborate with cultural institutions and museums to develop cutting-edge programmes and visual concepts. My work spans graphic design, content creation, research, and performance, with a focus on enabling inclusive spaces for artists and communities.

I have led and contributed to on-site installations, exhibitions, workshops, and educational programmes at venues like Sonic Acts, Het Nieuwe Instituut, Design Academy Eindhoven, and CBK Rotterdam. I am passionate about shaping critical discourse through design, research, and collaborative practice, and I actively contribute to initiatives that elevate underrepresented voices.
