‍"I want to break free from the traditional mould of magazine making. Having impactful and artistic stories as our driving force, we aim to lead the way in a new age of magazine making and storytelling. And as the first bicultural artistic magazine publisher in the Netherlands, I trust my vision and voice will add something new and refreshing to the magazine landscape.
