About myself

As a stage and costume designer, drawing the human physiognomy is an important tool for me, to reveal and communicate my own interpretations to directors, actors and within workshops in an effective way. As a student of the Master of Scientific Illustration, I got the chance to focus on this aspect of my two-dimensional work.

During this highly specialised programme, which is a collaboration between the Faculty of Arts at Zuyd University of Applied Science and the Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences at Maastricht University, I developed my drawing skills in different techniques and dissected anatomical specimens in order to depict the uncovered structures. Moreover, I attended and illustrated surgical procedures. By doing this, I extended my field of work, which was contentually influenced by aspects of architecture, fashion and psychology, by the inner structure of the human body and its physiology and anatomy. As a consequence of that, I am specialised to impart medical issues and complex problems in a precise and understandable manner, which is highly customized for each purpose and for each target group. Due to my medical knowledge, I am enabled to work with museums, hospitals and scientific research teams of all kinds.
