think different

‘Hey Akkie,
do you read
anything serious too?’

‘Yes, I do’

I started my bookcollection
from an early age on.
The biggest part of it
is children’s books.
Fiction and picture books.
So much care,
beautiful storytelling
and jawdropping illustration
in there.

Quite some fiction,
Dutch literature classics.
Some books on business.
Some on history.
Some on art.
Some on nature.
A few biographs.
A little poetry collection.
And a few on design.
Yes, just a few.

Stepping into the worlds
my clients are from,
researching,
interesting discoveries,
gaining more knowledge.
Different perspectives.
One of the best parts of what I do.

A wishlist of books
to add to the collection,
it is always growing.


If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking.
