      During my brief return to Europe, following an extended period in Australia, I was invited to rejoin oona agency in a temporary role as a Communications Advisor, leveraging my expertise to strengthen communications during a transitional period for the team.This opportunity allowed me to step in during a crucial time for key clients such as Levi's, TOMS, Gucci and The Room Antwerp. My role was hybrid, with time split between Amsterdam and Antwerp, ensuring continuity throughout the transition. I acted as a bridge between outgoing and incoming team members, maintaining momentum on projects and strengthening relationships. Having started my career at oona in Amsterdam back in the days, it was a rewarding return where I reconnected with the team and familiar faces within the industry, reigniting my passion for the company and its vibrant, creative environment.

      Storytelling has always been my thing—whether through words, visuals, or the energy a brand puts into the world. After five years at oona agency, shaping the narratives of niche designer brands like Façon Jacmin, Fabienne Chapot and The Room Antwerp, as well as global names like Zalando, Johnnie Walker, Desperados and Carhartt WIP, I took a new approach. I packed my bags, left Europe, and built my own independent practice—working with fashion brands, hoteliers, and creatives who, like me, believe in the power of authenticity. Living and working across continents has sharpened my adaptability, creativity, and ability to cut through the noise with narratives that resonate. I merge strategic thinking with a refined aesthetic, bringing European sophistication and a global perspective to every project. Show less
