I was born in 1996 and raised in The Netherlands. I lived in a small city called Valkenburg until I was 17, and then moved to the capital of Limburg, Maastricht, for my bachelors. There, I studied Communication and Multimedia Design for four years (2014-2018).
In between those years I moved to Amsterdam and Leeds. I did an internship in Amsterdam and had an exchange in Leeds UK. I started working at Open University The Netherlands in 2016 where I made social media content.
When I finished my bachelors degree, I started a masters in Fine Art and Design. However, after three weeks I realised it was not what I was looking for at that moment and decided to take a break from education. I moved to Berlin to focus more on art and worked in a Studio. This tasted like more after some months and decided to continue exploring more styles and media in Lisbon.
