My consultancy style can be characterized by dialog. By asking questions, and understanding where an organization or brand stands, I determine together with my client what direction the organization, brand or product should take.
I create a context and provide clarity in order to prevent impulsive short-term decisions that do not serve the strategic goal. I make sure that all activities align with the long-term strategy, irrespective of what it concerns: product development, communication or store design.

Analysing a company's heritage and developing a brand identity rooted in its legacy. I work with companies operating in the mass market as well as in the high end luxery segment.
With my extensive knowledge of and experience with lifestyle and consumer products I help identifying a company's strengths and weaknesses by analysing changes in the market place, competition, and today's trends.

I am an expert on product styling, development and segmentation. Depending on the situation I either style products that strengten excisting ranges or collections within the company's own corporate identity, or I style products that need to fit the design principles as stipulated in a licence agreement.
