ABOUT MYSELF
I am excited about art, design, typography, music, pop culture & society. But I am also enthusiastic in choreography and dancing in spare time. But more importantly I am part of a fundraising organisation (NPO) and responsible for the rebranding, the corporate identity and for all visual communication and output such as the conception & design of the website or the instagram feed  —
to participate in this mission with my expertise, strength and actions for a higher purpose is a meaningful and essential experience for me.
