I am a craft designer, with a graphic design agency in Amsterdam where I live with my wife, adult daughter and young son. I’ve started to learn crochet in the summer of 2012, just to relax… but I couldn’t find any fun patterns online so I had to start designing my own crochet patterns. Soon after releasing my first amigurumi I was contacted by a Dutch publisher who wanted to make a book with me. Now almost 9 years later I’ve published 9 crochet books, 2 sock knitting books, multiple guest designs and I have turned a fun hobby into a succesfull business and still enjoy every second of it.

I like to explore new crafts.
