My Work
I am a freelance chef, mostly for large group settings or at caterings. Recently, I have been mentoring in the kitchen as well, diving into the more social aspect of cooking.
Where possible, I passionately create plant-based menus with regional and seasonal ingredients. Together with the 'Kaati Kollektief', I organise fine-dine dinners where all donations go to supporting pollinators & biodiversity – we are called Kaati Kookt.

Regarding videography & photography, I have been working with artists and cultural organizations, having recorded music live sessions and music videos, as well as conceptualized corporate videos, or produced a short documentary, for instance. My experience ranges from the concept phase to the final delivery.
At the moment, most of my camerawork consists of filming theater pieces, which usually I am not allowed to publish – therefore you find some of my older work on here.

I am also a teacher at the Stadsboerderij Osdorp. In my lessons we learn about nature, food, global citizenship, and how everything is connected to each other. This journey I started with Esther Boukema from Smaak te Pakken, with whom I still work together.
I give workshops to adults as well, for example in fermentation, often collaborating with my colleagues from Cityplot Amsterdam.

Being fascinated by language and communication in general, I love working (together) with people. I constantly seek to implement this in my work – be it on the verbal basis or in form of concept revision and proofreading, interviews (for video/audio/written), or translation, for instance.
Another part of my work is graphic design and illustration.
Often, both métiers are fused in my creations, resulting in the use of diverse techniques and materials, analogue as well as digital.
My aim is to connect the aesthetic with clear communication.
