about me
I'm a design professional in
furniture, product, interior and retail.
A conceptual thinker and creator, working for national and international clients.
work experience
In the 30 years working as a designer, I've been a founding partner / designer of Dumoffice, an internationally acclaimed design studio, working in the field of furniture, lighting and interior design.
Co-initiator of 'Dutch Individuals', a platform to promote a collective of 'self-producing' designers on various international furniture trade shows.
Creative director at Storeage, an internationally operating agency specialised in retail design and strategy.
And an independent designer since 2016, operating from the city of Amsterdam.
I'm your concept developer, freelance creative director and product designer, from sketch to finalised product or project.
my clients range from commercial brands and manufacturers, to creative agencies and project based collaborators.
