Creative business experience
- Multidisciplinary Intern – Stichting LEFteam / KRACHT 12, Maastricht (10 months): During my internship at Stichting LEFteam, I primarily worked on Jas voor Jeugd, the organization’s largest project, which rethinks traditional approaches to charity. I was responsible for developing and maintaining the physical structure of the project, designing visual materials, and collaborating with over 40 social and local partner organizations. Alongside my hands-on role, I also took on a coordinating position, mentoring and guiding other interns and contributing to overall project organization and execution.
- Co-organizer & Collective Member – Project CVD, Maastricht (2025 - now): In my free time, I am an active member and co-organizer of Project CVD, a house & techno collective with a strong community-first mentality. Working within a small, multidisciplinary team, I take on a variety of roles including media design, marketing, awareness and safer-space initiatives, event photography and building partnerships with other collectives and organizations. Through Project CVD, I contribute to creating inclusive events that prioritize connection, responsibility, and the collective experience alongside music and culture.

Experience
This portfolio brings together digital and digitized analog design, event organization, photography, and projects focused on social impact.
Pop A Pil
This poster was created for a Dutch Design Week exposition and is inspired by current global tensions and the song Hit Eject by The Garden. The visual style draws from World War II Russian propaganda posters, using bold colors and strong imagery. Rather than delivering a fixed message, the design deliberately leaves room for interpretation, inviting the viewer to question the meaning and responsibility behind the scene. The poster was designed in Adobe Illustrator, blending digital techniques with an old-school aesthetic.

Jas voor Jeugd
Jas voor Jeugd tackles a familiar issue in schools: large amounts of lost and unclaimed clothing. Instead of letting these items accumulate and go to waste, the project collects them free of charge and redistributes them to young people who need them most.
Initiated by LEFteam, a Limburg-based foundation of young creatives, Jas voor Jeugd transforms excess into social value, combining sustainability, community care, and practical impact.
Designer drugs awareness campaign
Poster These media pieces are part of a campaign created to raise awareness about the effects of designer drugs.
Drink Vouchers The visuals are inspired by 90s rave posters and analog media gritty, loud, and a little chaotic, just like the scene itself. Everything was designed in Adobe Illustrator, mixing that old-school aesthetic with modern tools to get the right look and feel.
Coin Stickers All pieces were designed in Adobe Illustrator, combining an old-school aesthetic with modern digital tools.
Radius Festival
This year, I had my first-ever festival experience. Together with our collective Project CVD and Terra Nova, we organized the second edition of Radius Festival. With around 1,600 tickets sold almost five times more than last year. we created an amazing event filled with great music and art.
I followed the entire process, from marketing and promotion to building the festival and finally enjoying it myself. It was an incredible experience that I’m more than grateful for. I got to try a bit of everything and gained a valuable behind-the-scenes look at what goes into organizing a smaller-scale festival.
Queer Prom
Queer Prom was a collaborative event where I took charge of designing the promotional poster. The project challenged me to work professionally and independently, as the design process felt similar to working with a client who had an open-ended vision. This experience helped me grow in interpreting feedback, managing expectations, and refining ideas into a clear visual concept.
CVD - FIGHT CLUB
Me and the collective I'm part of, Project CVD organized this event with a creative twist on the marketing, decoration and setting. We gave the event playstation 2 styled media, colored lights and projections and the Dj's playing their music as a game between each other

Immersive Design Project
Enchained is an immersive design concept that captures the intense experience of overstimulation. The project is inspired by the people around me, individuals whose sensory overload in today’s overwhelming world can become so severe that it sometimes leads to panic attacks. As a bystander, you often feel powerless. All you can do is try to remove them from the situation.
My friend and I exposated this as an immersive design experience, simulating overstimulation. The project was part of our school's exposition at the 2024 Dutch Design Week, where it was received with open arms. Even a brief preview was enough to convey the overwhelming effect we set out to create.

Branding and Identity
In this assignment I had to create a branding and identity for a ride in the Dutch theme park, the Efteling. The Efteling is known for its attractions based on fairy tales, and for this project, I also chose a fairy tale to build my concept around.
I picked “The Wolf and the Seven Goats,” one of my longtime favorites. The story is dark and scary, with cruel elements that revolve around themes of deception and mistrust. I connected this story to a rollercoaster a bold and intense attraction that many people might hesitate to enter. I wanted to make the wolf look cool but casual, as if he’s wearing a disguise. This playful but eerie twist ties into the story’s theme of hidden danger. I created the design in Adobe Illustrator.
STRP Festival Host
I have experienceD working in a versatile team and know how to use my social skills to engage visitors or clients. In APRIL 2024, I participated in STRP Festival, where I took on the role of host at the artworks. I informed visitors about the pieces and had meaningful conversations with them.
I worked in a newly formed team consisting of artists, fellow hosts, and event organizers. STRP Festival was also an amazing opportunity to get a good look into the art world. I met a wide variety of people from all around the world. Not only that, but I also met some amazing and friendly artists who inspired me to keep pursuing my artistic career.
Magazine Design
In this assignment I created a cover for VPRO Gids, a Dutch weekly TV and radio guide published by the public broadcaster VPRO. It combines program listings with in-depth journalism, cultural essays, interviews, and critical perspectives on media, art, politics, and society.
My hand-drawn, digitalized cover uses biblical elements to paint an apocalyptic vision of the future of artificial intelligence. It's inspired by the story of the seven trumpets from the Book of Revelation, with each trumpet marking a step toward an artificial end of the world.
