When I became sick after a long and succesful corporate career, I was forced to put a halt to my life as it was. During this time, I realized I did not know who I was. I did what I was good at and what I always did, but did it make me happy? I used my recovery time at home to find out what my passion was and I found my passion in something that I loved since I was a child but lost along the way when I became too focused on work and values like money and status.

My passion is art through fashion. With art, I mean bringing out what is already inside of you. With fashion, I mean physical appearances to match your personality, your ambitions and your choices in life. Textures, colors, shapes. You can find it in everything! Being able to bring out that beauty on the inside and translate it to beauty on the outside is the most satisfying and beautiful transformation I have seen!

To become better at this, I want to learn all sorts of techniques, materials etc. I became more and more aware of the beauty of everything that mother nature has to offer. By now I personally invest in vegan, cruelty-free and sustainable products. Skin-care, make-up, fabric... There are many ways to contribute and give back to mother nature. I want to do my part in this.

So I am very new, I've only been exploring for a year by trying out all sorts of little projects and researching a lot. I have so many ambitions (including learning how to take GOOD photo's...) and need a lot of practice, but I love every step of this journey hoping that one day I will be able to share all my knowledge and skills to help others find their own beauty, inside and out!
