Education: MFA Design (Sandberg Institute), Writing (Rietveld Academy) Current Role: Lecturer of Art and Design Theory, Thesis Supervisor Editorial Work: Contributing Editor of De Gids, Founder of De Internet Gids His research explores the intersection of language, ecology, and creative practice, with particular focus on artistic research methodologies and the philosophical implications of human-plant relationships.
