    WEBSHOP
    The Flaming Feather
    is a fantasy inspired webshop I founded in 2020. Since 2024, it has been my full time creative practice, where I manage the entire process with full ownership. I design and produce tactile props such as colour-changing potion bottles, dice accessories, and collectible objects within a cohesive fantasy universe.

    From concept development and visual design to making, branding, customer service, logistics, photography, and social media, I handle the shop end to end. The goal is to bring a sense of magic and imagination into everyday life through handcrafted and 3D printed objects.

    The webshop will close at the end of 2026.

  • Photography

    ALL-ROUND

    Photography has been an important part of my creative work, explored through studio, outdoor, and product-focused shoots. I have photographed objects, models, and natural environments for social media, marketing, product presentation, and visual storytelling. This helped me develop a strong understanding of lighting, composition, and atmosphere.

    Most of my experience is self-taught through hands-on practice at home. My strength lies in creating atmosphere-driven imagery with a strong sense of mood and narrative.

    HANDCRAFTED WORK
    Crafting has always been an important part of my practice, becoming professional through The Flaming Feather in 2020. Since then, I have designed and produced over 5,000 original potion bottles.

    Alongside this, I sculpt with clay, creating dragon-inspired and fantasy objects, and I work in painting across murals, busts, and decorative pieces. Through these practices, I explore material, texture, and form as part of my visual storytelling approach.

    CONTENT CREATION
    Social media is one of my core creative strengths. I have created visual content for brands including Leen Bakker, Tefal, Blue Elephant, and DESTIL.

    I also manage the social channels for The Flaming Feather on Instagram and TikTok, creating all content from concept to execution using tools such as Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, and Premiere Pro.

    Through this work, I developed strong skills in content creation, visual storytelling, and brand-focused communication.
