The Queer Library

About me

I work across multiple disciplines: photography, research, facilitation, and community building. The common thread is always the same: a love for people, curiosity about the world, and a belief that the spaces we share can be improved.

My cross- and transdisciplinary experiences come together in The Queer Library and the toolkit that emerged from it. I am available as an expert in queer safety and inclusion for workshops, panels, lectures, and collaborations.

If you want to collaborate or have a question, I'd love to hear from you!

  • Photography & curation

    As a photographer, I document queer life and human connections in various cities. Together with Charlie McKee, I curated two projects focusing on queer experiences: The Queer Intimacy Project (2024) and The Toilet Series (2025). The Queer Library (2026) is my first solo exhibition. Discover more here.

  • Research & facilitation

    I have experience leading group sessions, workshops, and panel discussions on LGBTQIA+ inclusion and designing safer spaces. I am comfortable speaking publicly and guiding groups through difficult conversations. I use methods from design research and design thinking to translate research into concrete, actionable outcomes.

  • Community building

    For four years, I ran LezLinkUp, a queer event organization in Amsterdam. There, I created space, built community, and brought people together. That work taught me as much about what people need from a space as any research project.

    At the moment, I run my own part-time massage practice, where I provide care for the LGBTQIA+ community on a small scale. Through this, I am working directly to create queer safer spaces. Read more at www.queermassage.nl
