For the Doloris Anomaly Maze in Utrecht, an immersive art experience featuring spatial artists, Thomas Lievestro and I created a room that rewards curiosity.
Starting from something easily overlooked, a simple electrical socket, we built a space full of small magical surprises. Visitors of our room are invited to look closer, touch, and discover what they'd otherwise walk past… get in touch for discount code to visit! The maze should be open for at least 10 years!

For my daily job, I love making scientific research accessible and relevant. I write and produce, through video interviews, science stories that connect specialist knowledge to a wider audience. I also hosted large events on stage (500+ people) and facilitate creative workshops on a regular basis.
