I was raised in an eco-minded, professional sports family, but my creative spark was ignited by my glamorous aunts.

Transitioning from athletics to pursuing my passion, I studied fashion and textile design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Maastricht. After an internship at a Dutch accessories label in Bali, where I gained valuable insights, I launched my first collection in Amsterdam.

Fascinated by Berlin's creative energy, I made it my home in 2005. In 2009, I introduced AKKESOIR, a designer accessories collection.

After a hiatus to focus on motherhood and other projects, I relaunched AKKESOIR in 2022, driven by a yearning for the magic it brings.
