I’m an accessories design specialist with a passion for craftsmanship and great design and with over a decade’s experience designing for both luxury and commercial brands.
A borderline accessories obsessive, I have an imaginative, highly visual approach which I balance with commercial focus, creating innovative, relevant and - most importantly - profitable products. I have designed winning lines for both men and women having worked as a men’s accessory designer for many years while simultaneously retaining my devotion to women’s bags and accessories.
Early experiences working for Tommy Hilfiger and Marks & Spencers have been followed by a freelance career where I now work with luxury and commercial brands from those with a global reach to small start-ups, and everything in between. Smaller companies often benefit from general consultancy advice across all areas of the design process.
I am based in Amsterdam but I travel frequently to Italy to visit the factories and suppliers where all the magic happens. Even though my starting point is always analogue, I use technology to its full advantage to update designs and meet clients.
