 is an independent designer who has become an expert in guiding (undeveloped) stories and developing strong concepts. I believe that every design can reveal a unique story and should reinforce it to achieve the desired goal. With my work, I aim to exceed expectations. This requires extraordinary stories and courageous clients. Together, we can harvest admiration for the power of narratives.

A Queer Gaze / Marian Bakker

Velvet Publishers

Book design 

 A Queer Gaze is the long-awaited retrospective of photographer Marian Bakker. Between 1980 and 1999, Bakker documented lesbian, queer, and gay life in the Netherlands and beyond in her own distinctive way. Her work is characterized by a sensitive, intimate presence: whether she’s capturing the everyday life of her lesbian commune, Citadel, the queer deaf community, or the massive EuroGames in Paris, she’s always close by without ever disrupting the moment. This approach turns the viewer into more than just a spectator. Each photograph makes you feel as if you’re standing beside the people it portrays, sensing the power of a defiant, loving, celebratory, and athletic community. Eight leading young queers describe how the images of the past continue to resonate with today’s queer generation, in brief reflections on a photograph of their choice.
   In A Queer Gaze, we see ourselves reflected through the lens of Marian Bakker.
