In her 20s she was an environmental campaigner, in the fields of nuclear issues, tropical wood, trade of endangered species etc.

In 1998, in Amsterdam, she founded ART D’ECO & DESIGN, her company specializing in fashion and other products made from refashioning and reusing wastes.

Her major show was a retrospective : WAS DAT IS at the Museum für Kunst & Gewerbe, in Germany.

[citation needed] In 2012, she was the recipient of the Kairos Prize, the European Cultural award by the A. Toepfer foundation (Hamburg).

My creations show that it is possible to combine design and re-use without creating raw material and generating more waste as a result of this process.
