In 2022, I graduated cum laude from the KABK (Royal Academy of Art The Hague) as a textile designer. I am currently doing my masters in Sweden at the Swedish School of Textiles.


I am inspired by the challenges my generation is facing, such as climate change and aim to include this in my art. Specifically, my art is focused on recycling, upcycling and sustainability; so I mainly use everyday materials that are often overlooked. Materials that would otherwise end up in the trash, have now been given a new purpose through art. Having lived in the largest female student house in the Netherlands (with 36 girls), has led me to conduct research on various materials, ecosystems, and waste on a continue basis. 


I incorporated a variety of recycled materials in my works, including lint from the dryer, leftover yarn scraps, dog hair, food packaging materials, reused fabrics, bracelets from art festivals and more. These materials allowed for sustainable practices but also added an element of depth.
