After studying art and design in Holland, my career began in the 80ies as a trend forecaster in Paris. I expanded my activities at the cutting edge of society, media and markets in the following decades, especially in Hamburg / Germany and later in Zurich / Switzerland. I came to kansei engineering in Japan in the 90s and wrote my PhD on lifestyles and social behavior. The Kansei philosophy turned back to the roots of Japanese philosophical and cultural work, to rediscover the essence of the human spirit, and to use it as inspirational means for the interaction between the real and digital world. With another focus on creative processes, I wrote the Resign Thinking workbook in 2019. www.resign-thinking.com, the English translation with the title “break out” was published in 2022.

Coming from the questions what directions our being in the world will take tomorrow and which paths people will choose in the pandemic, I looked for a human centered approach in my teaching and I wanted to develop further my expertise in psychology. The first step was to gather basic knowledge in my 2 years studies from 2020 becoming a Registered German naturopath for Psychotherapy in Hamburg 2023. I connected Resign Thinking and counselling, and I started working with the existential analysis from 2020 and I started my studies at the Hamburg Academy in 2021. Parallel to this, I started a Master of Advanced studies in existential counselling at the University of Leuven, Belgium in 2024.
