"She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not..." introduces a series of serving spoons that emanate from one basic form. By breaking off pieces, variety and change are created, handing back to the consumer part of the production process. The two series are based on the shape of an archetype spoon and complement each other. In the white series, the different functions create a pattern while in the black series, the pattern can create various functions.

NurtuRing is a family of plates connected by direct lineage. It considers the mould not only as a means to create a product, but also as a product in itself, merging the two together. The project draws its inspiration from looking at production moulding processes, and adapting them to home-use small scale production, in a simple and sustainable way. NurtuRing consist of two large serving plates made of bronze and stone, which can each be used separately as a serving dish. Placed inside each other, the plates function as a press mould, "giving birth" to new plates a salad plate, soup bowl and a large plate. New plates can be created using readily available natural materials (such as paper, cardboard and plant leaf), expanding the set in an up-cycling process.

Is a modular, ever growing library, made of hooks in the form of objects commonly found in home libraries. The project stemmed from the question, "what makes a pile of books a library?" Leading to the idea that an object can be defined by other objects surrounding it.

Is a storage unit designed for the master bedroom of the "Wall house" in Groningen, an architectural landmark designed by J. Hejduk. It caters to the new nomadic temporary qualities which the house took on as an artist in residence's home. Drawing on the architect's intention to maintain a dialogue between private and public, it takes it's inspiration from the world of theatre (puppetry). The unit, located in the exposed bedroom on the ground floor creates a sense of privacy by hanging up ones personal effects.

Is a project based on found objects, in combination with a new design made of modern materials, everyday kitchenware is elevated into a one of a kind. Using the qualities and craft found in old silverware to bring new value to a product.

Is a food concept on the theme of sprouting developed for the experimental Food Lab project, headed by Debra Solomon.

Is a V.I.P invitation to a unique food design event, part of Kiki Van Eijk and Joost Van Bleiswijk's "Quality Time" exhibition, Milan 2007. The seal as a mark conveying the notion of "personal and unique", as in the old days of wax seals, is suggested through the application of a single sheet of gold leaf over the front of the card. To open the card, the seal must be broken, inevitably altering its appearance.

I have graduated from the Design Academy Eindhoven and am making my way in the world of Design. As well as holding a Bachelor of Design I have a background of studies in Sociology and Anthropology, Bachelor of Art (cum laude). Experienced with concept and material research, I enjoy the process of developing an idea into a product, often finding inspiration in production techniques, materials and social contexts. Curiosity drives me to experiment with a large variety of materials, working on diverse projects, ranging in size from kitchenware to interiors. My design process involves working on series, mapping out typologies and lining up my objects like in a scientific experiment, creating playful displacements of image and meaning. In this way, gold leaf applied to an invitation card takes inspiration from the practice of wax seals, to convey a feeling of personal and unique, objects adorning an old library become its construction, and a serving spoon's transformation is inspired by a childhood game of plucking off flower petals.
