I am an interdisciplinary entrepreneur, making the world my home by discovering, interpreting and connecting its various pieces with creation.

Feeling ‘senang’ is Indische slang that is diversely interpreted as a blend of feeling at ease, content, happy and untroubled. It finds its origins in Malay language and is adopted as an idiom into contemporary Dutch tongue as a remnant of Dutch colonisation in Indonesia.
During my studies at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam I started collaborating with Emoena.
Emoena is a platform and program that facilitates interreligious dialogue and that offers traineeships for religious leaders to help build bridges between the secular and the interfaith realm. In my work I attempt to reshape prejudice and presuppositions about religion into an accessible narrative through design and visualisation.
I have worked on redesigning and rewriting Emoena’ s vision, marketing strategy, website and graphics. I adapted the house-style, took photographs and designed their new website.
As an architecture graduate, I have always beheld a fascination for creativity and design. The designer is the translator between the imagined and the depicted, and carries out research through design. It is a continuous tension in unraveling the ends of the customer – whether a private individual, a municipality or an NGO – and offering the means. Visualisation and aesthetics play an undeniable role in the conviction of an audience – what I wish to achieve is my work to appeal to the imagination. I am employed in graphic design, interior, webdesign, film and the arts.
I have always had a passion for capturing my adventures in a single shot, so for the longest time I have wandered the earth with a camera in my hand.Â
