I tried to visualize a future global society and desired an identity we all can embrace called the global Identity. The visualization is about people, architecture and typography.

Hello
I will present myself. I am a Graphic Designer. I studied in the Netherlands and my specialties are book design and editorial design but I also like to do infographics. I like an experimental way of working and I like to challenge myself.

This is the artistic research project I have done called 'what if the source isn't unlimited? It's a book that contains different projects about our water consumption. The book I bind and design myself, just like the inside where my research is described
and visualized.

Where do we get our water if the source of clean tap water isn't unlimited? I tried to collect water out of my own environment to see how it is when you depend on the water sources nearby.

To visualize water pollution I made a simple affiche and put it in a bottle. I add some color substances to make it look more chemical and 'undrinkable'.

I made a visual dictionary which can be used as a tool when you walk through a museum. This book is very interactive because of the way the book is build up in different layers.

Risoprint is a technique I really like because of it's surprising effect and its perfect imperfection. I made a map existing out of different landscapes

This is the result of qua aqua worked out in risograph. The structure is applied because of its association with art and science which is exactly what the event is about. I made an affiche and a program folder.

In the semester of the last year of my bachelor Graphic Design I did an internship at Studio Renate Boere. The essay I made as a result of this internship describes a visual documentation of my process as an intern. This book I made must be as special as the experience I have had at the studio.

The Unique Book Manifest
The Unique Book Manifesto is a self-written book for designers who believe in the added value of the physical book in a digital era. The type of binding makes this book a "dwarsligger" and the paper I used contains different types of shades and textures, applied completely randomly during printing. This way, no copy
will be the same.

"Who am I" is a philosophy project that I completed in 2019. The project consists of a log and a visual elaboration of my identity research. The theme of that philosophy semester was about identity, including the book "So I am" written by Stine Jensen and Rob Wijnberg.

The Medicine Cycle is a de-signed clock that indicates how long medication has been active in the livestock industry and what influence this ultimately has on the quality of drinking water. It is an underexposed topic, and the aim of the clock is to draw attention to this topic.
Muma "Museum aan de Maas" is a group project and a collaboration between ArtEZ Zwolle and Nicole Unicole in which we were commissioned to design a new house style for "Het Dordts Patriciërshuis".

I designed stamps for various projects that had to be sent. After all, a stamp is the first impression when you open a letter or package.

Streven naar het
Ultieme Boek

The book is an anthology / handbook that is about safeguarding the physical book and passing on the expertise that underlies it. Because the different disciplines distance themselves from each other, and the current generation distances themselves from the physical craft, professional knowledge is less and less self-evident. The book is currently being worked on and will eventually be published.

Graduation project
2020
In 2020 I graduated as a graphic designer with the book project "Streven naar het Ultieme Boek". Behind the book is a broad investigation from interview techniques to page sketches. I have documented all sketches and proposals in various books that together embody my personal quest or pursuit of the ultimate book.
