Describe your style in 3 words:
Eclectic, selective, tasteful.

What does being a creative mean to you:
Bringing ideas to life by creating freely, intuitively - and ultimately - without limitations.

How has Amsterdam impacted your style:
Because of its different people, styles, aesthetics and open mindedness, Amsterdam inspires me and stimulates me to be free and totally ‘me’.
How does Amsterdam affect the art you create:
Actually in the same way – the openness and creativity of this city stimulates me to create what I truly feel and want to make.
Favourite place to hang out in Amsterdam:
Velour! Of course, not just for the clothes but also for the people and afternoon drinks!
