About Me

I am from Antwerp, Belgium and came to this country 21 years ago as a nanny. When I turned 40 I decided to go after my dream and started a business as a fashion designer. After 3 years of hard work I now sell to boutiques across the country. Anthropologie is my biggest customer, and I’ve been a Gen Art finalist and was also on the show “The Apprentice” when it was in its second season (as a designer, not a contestant).
I believe when you make yourself vulnerable for opportunities, they will arise.
To combat stress and bad posture I run every other day. Last November I ran my first New York marathon and finished under 5 hours!
