“The contemporary life as a performer”
Since childhood, I have been in the theatre as a performer, supporter and designer. Theatre gives me an experience I can’t get anywhere else. There, I escape from everyday life and the pressure I experience. As a performer, you step into a new role, for a moment you…
“Reflection of myself”
Over the years, I have created reflection posters to conclude my semesters. The purpose of these posters was to look back on the semester to see what I have learned and where I still need to improve. In these posters, you can see the growth in my designs…
“Freedom of a performer”
For the subject of research, I have explored how one can experience performance freedom and become a performer. I delved into this by engaging in self-performance and also by examining various scenarios from an external perspective. By investigating spatial and physical aspects, a list of factors that encourage…
“Jewelry of emotions”
I have created a series of jewelry pieces that offer the body support and a starting point to better sense physical emotions. With facial and hand jewelry, I aim to achieve this effect on the body. These pieces act as a support system and a source to rediscover…
“The Lifecycle”
For the Interior design course, I created a life path within a parking garage in Harderwijk. This assignment was very open-ended, where you had to choose an existing building and design something within it based on your vision. I selected a parking garage in Harderwijk because of its…
“Syn studio_”
I did an internship at Studio Syn_ in London. This is a very small company located in the center of Holborn. They are situated in Morley House, which is a creative collective. This means they are located in an old office building that is divided into many small…

This pavilion is intended to create a strong contrast with the outside world. In society, people are often boxed into categories and can’t break free from those boundaries. You often hear the phrase, “just act normal, that’s already weird enough.” This can hold you back from being different…
“The chair of balance”
A chair inspired by the bodies of dancers and the tension that arises between them. I conducted various studies by analyzing photos and videos. My own experience as a dancer and my knowledge of my own body also contributed to this research. Two performers assisted me with scenarios…
“Series of drawings”
Over the years, I have had various drawing classes. In these, I delved into the forms of the human body and the warmth it conveys. Using charcoal, I began to explore different parts of the body. I played with light to create shadows and highlights. This is a…
“Fluid motion”
Theater has been a major source of inspiration for this design. I see this design as my own choreography, with the mobility of humans at its core. I used architecture to guide people. I deliberately chose a busy location where people have many choices. By dividing the paths…
“Framework”
My initial interest was in shadows. I started exploring this by using various materials and shining a flashlight on them. For me, the experiments with ribbon and fabric were the most fascinating. In these experiments, the shadows appear as a woven whole. I wanted to continue this effect…
