Testimonials

''Tessa helped our team with the redesign of our office. She drafted a design based on our collective needs, and empowered our team to build the wooden furniture ourselves. It has become our dream office. With sharp questions and in an open dialogue she quickly understands what the needs are, and then uses her creativity to translate these to powerful solutions. In doing so, she also encourages making conscious choices.''

Kristel Thieme - founder and director - New Future Lab

''I have enjoyed working with Tessa as a creative co-pilot on the concept development of various projects. Her ingenuity and courage ensured that I always left our meetings full of new ideas and energy. She actively thinks about priorities and responsibilities, so we knew what to expect from each other. Tessa brings momentum and focus, no matter what she is working on!''

Thomas Hazenoot, Concept developer and UX designer - Ans

''Ours was in many ways a highly practical project, the fact that you understood it at a meta level and shared the values made it a real joy to work with you. I felt truly supported by your calm, kind presence even when the pressure was high. The result is something we’re both proud of - thoughtful, beautifully executed, and deeply aligned with our intentions. Your design work on the Expo was beautiful - I’m very proud of it.''
