De Nieuwe Vrouw          
Singer Laren, NL (2022)
14 september 2022 — 8 januari 2023

Exhibition design + Campaign 
The New Woman tells the compelling story of the shifting social positions of women in Dutch art from the late 19th century onward.  

Women in the spotlight In the spotlight are women who take to the barricades, enter new fields of work, create masterpieces, build collections, light a cigarette, flaunt their short (or long) hairstyle, or jump on a bike. Time and again, these women challenge ideas of what is considered typically ‘feminine’ or ‘masculine,’ break with conventions, and push boundaries.

Laaglands          
Gallowstreet, NL 
2021

Vinyl /Singel Design, Styling & Production

This is Laaglands, a record that was made during the COVID pandemic in 2020-2021. This record serves as a testament to that period, in which Gallowstreet offered a respite from touring and allowed themselves to make compositions that weren’t meant for the festival crowds, but to make music for hikes in nature.

Show us the light
Brass Rave Unit x Skatecafé  
2025

Art work limited edition T-shirt  
   

This limited edition T-shirt was created for Brass Rave Unit in collaboration with Skate Café. The design draws inspiration from Murmurs of the Earth by Carl Sagan and the Golden Record sent into space aboard the Voyager spacecraft in 1977.

Referencing messages of hope, curiosity, and connection across time and space, the shirt features images that speak to our desire to communicate across cosmic distances.

Printed in a small run for the event at Skate Café.

Aqua Azul
Brass Rave Unit  
2025

Singel artwork
   

Alongside the T-shirt, I designed two Spotify single covers for Brass Rave Unit, both visually connected to the themes of space, speculation, and sound. For Show Us the Light, I used the iconic image of the Golden Record, the message sent into deep space aboard the Voyager spacecraft, as a central visual element. The artwork reflects the same sense of interstellar communication as the T-shirt, combining archival imagery with bold typography.

Brass Rave Unit  
2025

Poster artwork
   

The original gang returns with a night of their own. After shaking up Paradiso with a one-of-a-kind live show, the unit comes home to one of their favorite spots. Expect 100% commitment, volume, and energy. Nothing more, nothing less.

The poster captures that raw spirit with bold typography and a stripped-down visual approach, echoing the urgency and intensity of their live sound.

In the fall of 2018, the IPPC, the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, raised the alarm: to avoid catastrophe, human societies have 12 years to completely transform the way we use energy and land. Change is urgently needed and on a scale for which ‘there is no documented historical precedent’, scientists from all around the world warned.

De Muziekstraat, NL  
2021 - Heden

Identity Design + Poster/Flyers
De Muziekstraat is a foundation in Amsterdam North that organizes music and art projects for residents of the Vogel and IJplein neighborhoods and other neighborhoods in North.

My mission was to create an inclusive identity that resonates with both young and old, fostering a sense of togetherness and celebration of creativity. In the quest to appeal to diverse age groups, I discovered the perfect typeface ‘Gestures’ from Moniker. The typeface has a set of variable letters, offering the versatility needed to adapt to different projects.

Oorzaken Podcast Academy x NPO-fonds
27 Juni, 2025 

Podcast, 19:30 minWat betekent het als je oma op een middag aan de keukentafel terloops opmerkt dat jij de reïncarnatie bent van haar in de oorlog gefusilleerde broer?

In Een Onderhuids Verleden onderzoekt Nina van Tuikwerd de opmerking van haar oma die haar sindsdien niet meer heeft losgelaten. Via gesprekken met haar moeder, oom en vergeelde brieven in het familiearchief reconstrueert ze niet alleen het leven van haar oudoom Hans Zomer, maar ook de sporen van intergenerationeel trauma die zich door haar familiegeschiedenis bewegen.
