Bringing things back to simplicity in form and color. That's what I do. Because simplicity reveals the essence, and the essence contains Everything.

My work is all about a mix of order, softness, and a love for life. I get my inspiration from words, ideas, nature, and dreams. I’m really into textiles and work with them in all kinds of ways. Besides that, I love using ink, both for drawing and writing.
