Writer, editor and Psychology expert based in Amsterdam NL. Currently creating content magic for fashion magazine Hajinsky.
Intro
It all starts with placing humanity at the centre of what we do — and my mission is to help creatives understand how humans behave with clothes so we can design better.
01
Making Content
Creating compelling content on fashion and brands is what I do best. As a co-founder of the first fashion psychology magazine, Hajinsky, I produce content that blends psychology and science so businesses can be a force for good.
Features and collaborators include i-D magazine, Vogue Business, The Cut, Financial Times, and more…
02
Psychology Workshops
I run workshops and training for brands and education on the human psychology of clothes. I consult creatives and teams on how to put human values — e.g. kindness, community — at the centre of what they do.
Clients include Kering, IBM x CSF, University of the Arts London, and AMFI Amsterdam Fashion Institute.
03
Writing & Publications
I research what matters to people. I apply psychology to understand what fashion needs. I translate science into ideas that creatives can use.
As seen in Fashion Revolution, The Slow Grind, and peer-reviewed journals — e.g. Fashion Practices.

My CV
A career first in Psychology gave me the knack to research what really matters to people and communicate it to make a difference. In my position as Research Director at Hajinsky, I handle and decipher data for the creative team, leading to fresher content and directions that have been featured and republished— selected for Over’s Visual Communication 2020.
I also write for marketing and journalism where I’ve been responsible for delivering everything from social copy to 2,000-word features. My latest project is for NXS where I tell the story of phygital fashion and its influence on self and representation.
I’m based in Amsterdam NL, but available to travel for longer consulting engagements.
