Creative Studio

From an amazing former warehouse within a cosy city in the Netherlands I run my Creative Studio. From this inspiring space I write books and create illustrations. My background is in the world of magazines, where I worked for years as a coordinating editor for well known glossy magazines.

Beautiful books, inspiring magazines and papers are my great passion and my studio looks more and more like a cosy library! I also create and coordinate content, copy and concepts for agencies, brands and media.

As a passionate mentor I share my knowledge from all these years creative media experience. In the form of consults, talks, workshops and retreats.

My books and writing program

As an author, cocreator or ghostwriter I published several books and created a writing program

• 2022: In the making! A children’s book with my text ánd illustrations.

•I created an online course, Free Your Inner Writer, to help others write their non-fiction book. Find the Dutch self study course in the shop!

• 2015: Ghostwriter for a Dutch Health Book.

• 2014: Pure Travel Guides - Slow Travel in the City: 4 Books and App (Unieboek Publishers Netherlands, Dutch only). Together with Jessica van Zanten I created and wrote the Pure Travel Guides. We created the whole concept and the App from A-Z in cooperation with Unieboek Publishers in The Netherlands. It was the first series of travel guides on slow travel.

• 2013: Feel your Sparkle, 15 ways to live lighter (Scriptum Publishers, Dutch Only).

• 2010: I Love Me, 25 ways to live your life fully (Scriptum Publishers, Dutch Only).
