Based in Amsterdam



I am an art and architectural historian working as a writer, researcher, curator and critic. My interests centre on the relationship between architecture and the visual arts from the twentieth century onwards, and on critical spatial practices in contemporary art. My writing has appeared in De Witte Raaf, Stedelijk Studies and Metropolis M, and I am an editor of Simulacrum Magazine. In 2026, the Association of Dutch Art Historians commissioned me to compile the longlist for the Karel van Mander Prize, which recognises an outstanding art-historical publication. Previously, I was commissioned by the Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands to research post-war office buildings.

I hold a BA and an MA in Art History from the University of Amsterdam, completing the latter cum laude in 2025, and was a visiting student at TU Delft and the University of Technology Sydney. At the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, I worked as a curatorial assistant (2024) and floor manager for the Public Programme (2021–2023). My work there included performances by Nora Turato and Alexis Blake (both 2021), as well as the exhibitions The Don Quixote Sculpture Hall (2024), stanley brouwn (2024), Ana Lupas (2024) and Anselm Kiefer (2025).

Alongside my work in the arts, I work at the University of Amsterdam's Humanities Venture Lab, supporting entrepreneurship among researchers and students in the Faculty of Humanities and connecting them with external partners to strengthen the societal impact of their work.
