The creative industry needs people who dare to move things forward. Giving them room to develop their craft and find their own way is what drives my work. For nearly ten years, Fundamentals Academy has been my home for this. Together with a dedicated team and generous partners, I’ve built programs that bring education and practice closer together, creating opportunities for creative professionals to grow.

From 2027, I’ll focus on new projects that strengthen the creative industry. I want to shape the conditions in which creative people and businesses can thrive, and strengthen their role in creating a better future. That ambition takes physical shape through Studiomakers, where we offer studios for creative entrepreneurs to work and build something together. Through my work at Fig Culture, I’ll bring teams across Europe together to shape stronger creative industries.
