Analyzing the Zeitgeist, Keynote speaker, Consultant

Analyzing what is happening now, why it is happening, and understanding its impact on the future is something that energizes me. I want to grasp the spirit of the times and comprehend it, so that I can assist individuals, brands, and organizations in taking the right steps. We are living in a pivotal decade, and our future is being shaped right now.

Follow me and stay ahead of your competitors

I will show you what drives the people of today by delving deep into the spirit of the times and uncovering their motivations. This way, you can gain valuable insights and maximize opportunities for yourself, your brand, and your organization.

Your strategic partner

I accomplish this through online webinars, as a keynote speaker at events, as an inspirational presenter for your team, and as a consultant and sounding board for your organization. In addition to a general analysis of the spirit of the times, I also provide a tailored analysis that identifies the challenges and opportunities specific to your organization.

Analyses

I examine the broader context to identify significant patterns and connections. I then strive to present these findings in a manner that is accessible and comprehensible to you. This involves considering a wide range of topics such as world news, scientific advancements, technological developments, art, design, and everyday life. By immersing myself in these various domains, I aim to capture the essence of the spirit of the times, enabling you to form your own informed perspective.

Design Language Winter

Design is the language of the zeitgeist. Fashion is the interpreter. The field of tension in which we live evokes reactions that are reflected in behaviour, design, material and colour. In my analysis for the winter season, I look a year and a half ahead. I share valuable visual inspiration with a strong rationale for designers, buyers and interior and colour specialists.

Design Language Summer

In the analysis for the summer, I always look a year and a half ahead. I come up with a razor-sharp and pictorial analysis of the design language. Including leading themes, material trends, colour combinations and Pantone references. In short, visual inspiration and valuable substantiation or confirmation for professionals such as designers and buyers.
