work together
creating space for change
Playful explorations & creative interventions
Inequality, climate change, loneliness, people in distress… We see people and the earth suffering. Naturally we want to help find solutions. But as the saying goes, we cannot change the system with the tools that helped build it. But how, then, do we make a difference? And can we do so with joy and hope?
This is the question that I have been exploring, both personally and professionally. If you are looking for inspiration and tools, as you’re relating to big societal questions, this is a warm invitation. Not to find the solutions together, but to find ways to slow down and dwell in not-knowing as our first response.
My work focuses on cultivating hope and joy, through play, connection and imagination. Creative research is how I have found I can contribute to societal questions, and help people find ways to foster change – in themselves, and in the organisations and communities they are part of.

work with me
Some of the ways in which we can (un)learn together:
workshops & lectures
Interactive sessions that include forms of listening, connection, making, movement. All to challenge what is and inspire imagination.
impact measurement
We have developed methods that allow us capture the value of your creative and social interventions in unique ways.
creative experiments
We design experiments that help you create space for the change you wish to foster in your organisation or community.
writings
I write books, articles & columns around the themes of curiosity, creativity and rest. I even throw in a poem or two, when inspired.
podcast
In “Voor de verandering” I interview people who help us reimagine how we can connect and live purposefully. You can also invite me for your podcast.
consultancy
You can wake me up to ask critical questions that help you personally, or your organisation, to move forward and make a positive change
