I'm Sophie,
artist and
social designer
Artist • radical imagination
ā
Social • organism in relationship with its context
ā
Design • form made with intention
Transforming complex challenges into concrete outcomes, fresh perspectives, and visual storytelling. Through a playful approach I believe we can spark our collective imagination and fuel the transition towards a just and regenerative worldview.
ā
My practice emphasizes sensory experiences, hands-on field research, and
co-creation with local communities, other artists, scientist and regional players. Food frequently plays a role in my projects, serving as a medium to spark dialogue and create meaningful engagement.
ā
In addition, I am a co-initiator of the collective the Re/Generation.
I welcome new collaborations that resonate with my vision for a
regenerative future.

Research
In order to get a hold on a topic and its implications, I start by understanding the context through thorough research. Literature, visual and often etymological research infuse depth, add layers of understanding and increases the impact of a project. It unveils hidden narratives, cultural variations and invokes a cross-disciplinary approach, transforming projects from a mere concept to a tangible outcome and a more nuanced perspective on the subject.
An example of a research-based project is the perspective of citizens of Amsterdam on nature through the years in a timeline.

Art Direction
I have experience in 2d and 3d art direction and scenography at Studio Marcel van Doorn, at NGO’s and as a freelancer. Through these projects, I became a strong visual storyteller. I know how to translate feelings and stories into print, products and atmospheres. The knowledge I gained working for commercial companies I now put into use to contribute to positive social change.
Currently, I’m working as an art director for the project ChangeGamers, a
cross-disciplinary project that uses gamification for computational pathology.

I am passionate about the possibilities of regeneration as a worldview and love sharing this perspective with others. Together with the Regeneration Coöperative I developed a series of lectures and workshops explaining, displaying and embodying the roots of regeneration and its possible applications.
