What i do
Freelance Contentmarketing & Brand identity
2019 – current
After founding several food concepts and helping others with theirs, I realised that what I loved most was creating the brand identity and make it a strong concept that people want to buy from. From logo design, to package design, to building websites, to writing newsletters and maintaining social media. I love to create content and visual elements.
Founder / marketing / HR / manager

Together with chef Estée Strooker, I’ve founded this food spot in Arnhem. Your go-to for healthy, fresh, fast and delicious meals.
I am responsible for the concept and brand identity, besides being the floormanager and doing most of the backoffice tasks.
Founder / catering / food concepts
2015 – current
I started this business as a caterer. From there I was asked to found a café inside an old schoolbuilding where entrepreneurs could rent an office. I opened the ‘Kleine Campus Café’ and later ‘Café Stekker’.
I also provided culinary support at a restaurant kitchen, during events and for several cookbooks.
PR & Communications
2012 – 2015
Currently, 365 Dagen Succesvol is one of the Netherlands largest platforms for personal growth. I worked there at the beginning of the foundation of this brand. I did a lot of diverse organising, PR & communication tasks at this inspiring company based in Amsterdam.

During my studies, I went to Berlin for four months to do an online marketing internship at Zalando. My internship was mainly focused on Search Engine Marketing.

Content design restaurant ’t Amusement
Eight years ago, Estée Strooker opened one of Arnhems finest restaurants. On a regular base, I help Estée out where necessary. Sometimes you'll find me in the kitchen (during an event like Arhem Proeft, for example), but most of the time I provide support at the...
Brand identity LOVE+T
I love a cup of tea and I am really convinced of the benefits of (high quality) tea. Therefore, I was thrilled to be involved at the foundation of this cute new tea brand. I designed and built the website, as well as the logo and the packages.

Events, dinners, tastings, parties or any other special occassion. Organizing a (culinary) event gives me a lot of energy. Let me help you with planning, logistics, marketing and the concept. I love working in a team, where the result is the sum of everybodies unique...

Brand identity Eetwinkel STROOM
Eetwinkel STROOM is a young, fresh, vibrant and energetic brand. We serve healthy food, but not in a 'superfood-woolly-kind-a-way'. With that in mind I designed and built the website and all kind of other designs, like menu's, flyers, social media, brochures, etc....
WHAT I WANT
Create and organise awesome content, brand identities & events
together with beautiful, passionate people
for authentic, game-changing brands.
My Skills
During my studies I learned that I like branding, public relations, writing and developing content. However, my love for food guided me into another direction. I started a catering company, which lead to opening a lunchroom.
Creating and organising gives me loads of energy. Together with my passion for branding and seeing opportunities everywhere I go, I started multiple brands over the past few years.
I’ve learned a lot about branding, concepting, organising and entrepreneurship. But I also developed my skills in terms of managing, back-office and human resources.
And of course, I learned a lot about food, cooking, coffee, tea and other delicious aspects of being a food entrepreneur. Please check out my skills-set below.
