"Tableware only really gets its value through its use. My designs are used in restaurants and homes internationally, that's what I love about being a tableware designer."
My studio has been established in 2009 following completion of my studies at the Design Academy Eindhoven, and is located in Delfshaven in Rotterdam. In my role as a designer I work with tableware companies and design brands that are on the look out for innovation and style in their products. My work is like a blank canvas, it interacts with the user and the chef, who is challenged to new forms of presentation and application.
