I am an artist and researcher, currently finishing a PhD at the Technical University in Delft, as part of the Designing Intelligence Lab. My research and art practice involves AI in creative practices, and I explore how it can be used as a tool for self-reflection.
I create publications, workshops, talks and installations for exhibitions. In 2025, I have won the Dutch Design Award for  Emerging Talent and I was amongst one of 50 talents of Financieel Dagblad 2026.
