Experienced Creative Producer and Project Manager with 20+ years bringing structure, care, and clarity to complex, fast-moving projects. I’ve worked across photography, design, advertising, and entrepreneurship including co-owning a floral design business in Amsterdam for nearly a decade. I value collaboration, creativity, and human connection, and I’m known for helping teams stay grounded and brilliant under pressure.

Now, I’m seeking a purpose-led role where creativity meets impact, whether in sustainability, social justice, or community-focused work. I love building bridges between ideas and action, supporting people, and delivering meaningful results through thoughtful communication and calm leadership.
