Being creative has been part of who I am for as long as I can remember. I inherited that from my mum, who is just as creative as I am. I love making things with my hands, whether that's from natural materials or forgotten treasures waiting for a second life. What started as a personal passion has slowly grown into something I can share with others. Today, my lamps and shell artworks are also available at I Scream Coffee & Conceptstore in Leiden. Every piece I make reflects my love for craftsmanship, sustainability and finding beauty in unexpected places.
I love searching thrift stores and flea markets for beautiful objects with a story. By giving vintage and second-hand pieces a new purpose, I create one-of-a-kind lamps that combine character, craftsmanship and sustainability.Â
To me, every shell is already a tiny work of art, shaped by the sea and time. I carefully handpick each one and treat it to reveal its natural colours and details before giving it a new place in my work.
Every artwork is handmade, one of a kind, and created with great care. My goal is not to change the shells, but to celebrate the beauty they already hold and preserve a small piece of the calm I find by the sea.
