COLOUR EXPLORATION
︎HOME
Colour is a sensory experience tied to our emotions, identity and culture. It shapes how we interpret the world around us, yet in today’s globalized, fast-paced environment, colour often becomes interchangeable, detached from its roots in time, place, and the natural world.
I believe colour can be a powerful force for personal expression and meaningful connections. In my research and design practice, I explore how colour can reflect and enhance our relationship with nature, culture and personal experience.

MUSEUM VOORLINDEN
SEASONAL COLOURS OF THE MUSEUM’S GARDEN
The garden at the renowned Museum Voorlinden in the Netherlands was designed by Piet Oudolf, a celebrated landscape architect known for iconic projects such as New York’s High Line.
The museum commissioned a project to map the garden’s colours, with the goal of creating several colour compositions and a seasonal colour chart that showcases the shifting shades of the plants throughout the year.
The project is scheduled for completion by the end of 2025. More info to come soon.
