Developing great ideas that are relevant and innovative, both for the client and the public.

I am a conceptual creator of spatial experiences. I love to develop projects that matter, that are relevant and innovative, both for our clients and their audiences. It inspires me.  


I’m involved with projects from start to finish, sparring with the client, developing the concept, and handling the creative direction. I am always looking for the synergy between the story and the spatial design. I keep an eye on the total experience to ensure that the big idea stays intact during the process. At Tinker, I have found this perfect mix of design, strategic customer contact, and conceptual thinking.
