LOOKS THAT MATTER
about akkie
How it all started
As a child I drew on everything. Yes, even on the table. I cycled through meadows and went on adventures in my rowing boat. Endless summers. Winters with natural ice and skating until dark. A happy camper girl.
At the Rietveld Academy, in Amsterdam, I learned all about typography, the power of images and the combination. Peeling off layers, seeing possibilities, making new connections and creating a strong visual language. Less is more.
Of nature, theatre and sports
My career took off. It started in the television- and animation world. The base of my mixed media knowledge. Followed by working for the dutch theatre legend Herman van Veen and princess Irene van Lippe. Mixed with Sesame Street, several Ministeries and Universal Music. All connected through strong value driven stories. The seed for the importance of sports and fitting education was planted through my son. Skiing, snowboarding and skate-boarding his life.
