I love the challenge to find solutions for individuals and their unique spaces: guiding customers through the myriad of style and functionality options; achieving the required light levels for tasks, social activities or relaxation; finding beautiful lighting. It is hugely rewarding and satisfying to hear a client sharply inhale and say, ‘wow’ and also when they slowly exhale and say, ‘I love how this room feels now’. My fascination with lights and lighting began when I was a student, studying electronics and information technology. That combined with my passion for photography, meant I became obsessed about the role and the quality of light and, with advances in technology and automation, I am constantly discovering and exploring new ideas and types of lighting. During my career as an international programme and project manager, I travelled extensively and saw, photographed and reproduced different styles of lighting that I had seen from around the world that were unique and beautiful. My project experience means I know how important a client’s requirements are, that they are busy and want a great result with good communication and minimal inconvenience. I manage, organise and arrange the installations, collaborating with and giving guidance to local trades; clients can be involved as little or as much as they want.I'm half Dutch (brand colours of Light My Space are are no accident), so aside from my height of 6'4", I'll also eat almost anything with liquorice, ginger or cinnamon. I love snowboarding, photography and sharing food, wine and craft beer with friends. I'm experimenting with home-made ice-cream flavours as well as making Napoli pizza in my pizza oven. Any excuse to travel is happily taken - along with photos of any cool lighting I find of course!
