** FULLY EQUIPPED FOR WORKING REMOTELY **
Open, communicative and highly passionate, I truly believe in having an authentic connection with people. Every idea begins small. By connecting, the spark is ignited.
I tell stories through sound. Vibration, in all of its manifestations, surrounds us daily and influences our perception of our environment and our relation to it. One could say that our experiences, memories and primal instincts are all rooted in resonance. Using this mentality, I curate and create sound that reflects a projects sentiment and narrative.
As I hold a BA of Interdisciplinary Arts, I combine the technical skill of sound design with a deep understanding of multimedia work processes, such as visuals, motion and film, design, installations and performance. This enables me to work in a highly demanding, cross-disciplinary work environment where there is no linear outcome, but a multitude of diverse outputs, all bespoke according to their story and concept.
I am an experienced educator and lecturer, having developed workshops and curricula for within the field of art and design. I believe that our need to reflect and modify educational formats for the future is essential in today’s digital era. My vision is to contribute to the current shift of paradigm about the meaning and approach to education.
As I am a curious thinker I naturally like to push boundaries. Using holistic design thinking, I take great joy in creating synergies between disciplines by understanding their respective characteristics and be surprised by the outcome of intense prototyping sessions.

- Floral MessageFloral Message is a short art video, created and directed by Art Director Raya van der Kroon. In our society we receive forms of appreciation and emotional communication mostly via digital platforms. Our phone almost became the contemporary bouquet, showing acknowledgement when we get a Tinder match or maintain an Instagram friendship. The video explores floriography, the cryptologic communication behind flowers, through the question of how we could reclaim the code and language of flowers a
- Pretty ExposedPretty Exposed is an interdisciplinary fashion production by Raya van der Kroon. It is an exploration into the boundaries of female sexiness and empowerment with field research done in Rio de Janeiro and Amsterdam. The sonic concept was made around the same principles. A gloomy, nightlife atmosphere that included texts of interviewed women in Rio and Amsterdam, painting a picture of what it is to be sexy but yet empowered. Field recordings were added, colliding both the open tropical culture

- Floral Message“Gifts of blooms, plants, and specific floral arrangements were used to send a coded message to the recipient, allowing the sender to express feelings which could not be spoken aloud in Victorian society.” Floriography is the term that defines the language of flowers, standing for the cryptological communication through the use of flowers. For this project my aim was to rewrite floriography to the digital age, reviving physical flowers as a form of communication. In our society we receive form

Soundtrack for Nine Marrin Parres' new fashion collection, entitled 'Stand Your Ground'.
Presented at the Dutch Sustainable Fashion Week 2018
Stand Your Ground is a cultural collective based on interdisciplinary collaboration. Using fashion, dance, visuals and music, we research new work methods in order to organically combine disciplines and makers during the creative process.
During the Dutch Sustainable Fashion Week (October 2018), ten professional dancers embodied and showcased Nine Parres’ new fashion collection. By connecting all these different disciplines, a new form of fashion presentation unraveled: “The most extravagant show was doubtlessly the one of Nine Parre” the Amsterdam Fashion Week Report commented.
