about

I'm a dutch mycologist who has delved into many realms within the fungal sphere.
As a trained researcher, self-taught forager and curious creative it is my aim to explore the boundaries of what we know of mushrooms and unlock the full potential of mycelium through material research, workshops, and art & design. 
Where research is the necessary drive towards innovation, workshops are vessels not only for knowledge diffusion but also for dialogue and exchange. Art & design bridge the gap between what research can show us and what it can't, offering different ways to engage with scientific ideas. By working with fungi, we can step beyond a purely human-centred perspective and better appreciate the relationships that shape the living world. In this regard creative practice can make the often-hidden fungal world accessible to a wider audience, encouraging curiosity and creating new connections between science, design, and everyday experience.
