I’m a bookbinder and graphic designer currently studying at ArtEZ University of the Arts. I’m particularly interested in book design, printed matter, archiving, bookbinding and have a deep passion for traditional crafts. I
enjoy a collaborative creative process. My work is driven by a commitment to craftsmanship, with a keen eye for detail, colour combinations and clarity of design. Whether it’s crafting custom books, designing layouts, or preserving the beauty of traditional techniques, my goal is always to produce work that is both functional and visually compelling.

Collaborative project with fellow students. Together with 3 other students we decided to create a book to improve our book design and curatorial skills. The subject of doors was chosen based on a mutual interest.
The book is made up of three sections. Each section showcases a collection of doors from a set of European countries; The Netherlands, Spain, United Kingdom and Belgium. The first section features a collection of images of doors found in various European digital archives. The second section is a collection of screenshots of doors we made by browsing Google Maps and the third section consists of images we have made ourselves in these countries. The design of the book is based on 2 grid systems which are randomised for every page. Throughout the book short statements and quotes are placed which refer to the meaning or function of doors. On several pages we made use of the thin paper and printed the text backwards. This way the reader can only read the text by holding the book up to the light and reading through the paper, to play with the illusion of open and closed.
The binding is a leporello style binding with 3 separate booklets attached in the valley-folds. This leporello style binding results in the book being able to open and unfold in a variety of different ways, creating the feeling of opening and closing doors.
