I am an architecture graduate from the Netherlands and recently completed my master’s degree in Architecture at TU Delft. I am less interested in architecture as a finished object and more in how spaces shape everyday life, and how they enable people to gather, support one another, and shape their surroundings over time.

Growing up between different cultural contexts has made me aware of how ways of living together can differ, and how informal systems often coexist with formal structures. I am drawn to lived-in environments where use, atmosphere, and social relations are as important as form.

During my graduation, I discovered how important the research part of designing is for the way I work, whether through literature, fieldwork, or conversations. Without shared references or a grounded understanding of context, I find it difficult to draw conclusions or make design decisions that feel honest. Research helps me to understand context, to position myself, and to make choices that feel considered rather than arbitrary.

This does not mean that I see design as purely rational or analytical. On the contrary, research allows me to design with more care, attention, and confidence, while leaving room for imagination, interpretation, and spatial experimentation.

I enjoy working across scales, from urban structures to collective spaces and housing, using design as a way to articulate questions as much as to propose answers.
