about me
I have been involved in decor and creating beautiful things in various fields for years. I have a bachelor's degree in Film, TV and Theater Studies and a Master's degree in Film Studies, and I'm now following a practical year in Production Design at the Film Academy. I have been working as a decorator of my own festival for 5 years, I have also been putting on various acts and performances at festivals for years and I also practice performance grime and body paint. Now I want to focus mainly on the decoration, styling and props of the film set. In recent years I have gained a lot of experience with this, both inside and outside the film academy, and various commercial assignments.

remarks
I like doing anything that has to do with creating a set, imagining a 'different world' than what we normally walk into, and then all the production and creative stuff that comes with it. What else do I do: I've also come up with many performance concepts, interactive acts with festival visitors, I've set up my own make-up and body paint company.

trackrecord
The film production I learned the most from is the graduation film 'Broker'. I was given a lot of freedom as an assistant production design and set dresser. My most important all-round decor project is my function at Familiar Forest Festival; this is a music festival in the forest that I founded 6 years ago with 5 others. We have now even become a foundation. I mainly focused on the vision of the festival, leading the decoration team and also carried out many production tasks.
