“I’ve spent the last nineteen years in Bali, creating soulful spaces inspired by my love for nature, animals, and the harmony of tropical life.”

I was born in Amsterdam, spent part of my childhood in Curaçao, and discovered early on my love for tropical light, creativity, and the beauty of nature. After a career in fashion that took me around the world, I came to Bali nineteen years ago and immediately knew I had found home. Since then, I have devoted myself to architecture and interiors, guided by a deep respect for nature and a lifelong love of animals—believing that the most beautiful spaces are those where people, animals, and the natural world live in peaceful harmony.

“I believe true beauty is found in the seamless flow between architecture, interiors, and nature.”

I design with a holistic approach, where architecture, interiors, and outdoor spaces flow seamlessly together. I believe beauty has the power to soothe, inspire, and uplift, and I strive to create environments that are calm, harmonious, and full of soul. For me, design is deeply personal: it is about listening, understanding, and translating a client’s vision into spaces that feel effortless, alive, and loved.

“My mission is to craft spaces that embrace you with warmth, meaning, and a sense of belonging.”

I transform ideas into homes that truly reflect the spirit of those who live in them, creating joy that lasts for years to come. A house should be more than beautiful—it should feel like a sanctuary. By understanding who you are, by listening deeply to your story and dreams, I design spaces that nurture happiness, ease, and a profound sense of belonging.
