Today’s society is shaped to let us escape our feelings and pains.
We spend hours gazing at our phones, indulging in social media, losing ourselves in travelling, shopping, and endless events.
But in this constant preoccupation with the external, don't we forget the internal?
Aren't we living through a silent health crisis of the psyche?
I aim to design for the inner world:
To help us a little bit to get back Into the Body, away from the mind.
I create spaces that help us sense, process, and integrate what is happening inside. And I would like to weave these into our everyday habitat.
This space is a mini version of TRANSPHERE — an immersive experience that transforms the overlooked moments of waiting in metro stations into an opportunity for reflection and reconnection.
Into the Body

I create environments that help us a bit to feel Into Our Bodies more, and get out of our minds.
My current focus is on transforming (public) waiting time into moments to connect to our inner selves.
I work mainly on train and bus stations, yet I am eager to explore other contexts especially in the healthcare sector.
My lab is based in 'The Body Building', one of the first bio-based buildings in the Netherlands, self-built.
