Poster development
DE DROOMVLUCHT
When Weelde approached me to design the poster campaign for De Droomvlucht, they were clear they wanted something mystical, merging the boundary between reality and non-reality. This made me think of a common technique used in lucid dreaming. Dreamers would check their reflection in a dream, to see if they were in reality or asleep. This inspired the graphic.

Hoax issue 002
Issue 002 focuses on relating the local to the global, and the environmental impact of fighting for these spaces. Inspired by societal response to the pandemic, we were interested in how we as a collective respond to crises and how we can come together even when separated physically.

Website design, illustration and infographics
LUNCHEONETTE
The Luncheonette website is an ode to the physical space of the Luncheonette. As the Luncheonette is an art project that focuses on cultivating hospitality, it was important to reflect this in the site.
Therefore the home screen is a photo of the central table in the canteen, and the typeface chosen is the same used in the menu.
Website design and logo development
lijst'm
When creating the branding for Lijst' M it was important to encapsulate the physicality of the process of frame making. The moving logo is inspired by fitting the different parts together of a frame.

IT JUST KEEPS HAPPENING
This project began in a way sometime in 2016 or 2017, when my friend turned to me with a steadfast expression and said, It Just Keeps Happening. What does? I asked them. Time¹, they replied. I couldn't argue with them and over the following years whether I was in love, hungover, elated, emotionally depleted or spiritually satisfied it rang through with a crystal-like clarity. It Did Just Keep Happening.
In this body of work I investigate the tension of experiencing the passing of time² as both magical and mundane. I have always had a peculiar relationship with time³, but in the aftermath of a global pandemic that completely ravaged my perception of time⁴, it is now something that I think of more than I care to admit. Sometimes I think of time⁵ as transactional- the most basic currency. Others, I think of it as an alive beast, something to be controlled, tamed, conquered. More often, I cling to the sentimental. Wow, it's really been three weeks since I saw that friend?
