    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 hold full ownership over the entire process. I design and produce tactile props such as potion bottles, dice accessories, and collectible objects, developed within a cohesive fantasy universe.

    From concept development and visual design to making, branding, customer service, logistics, photography, and social media, I manage the shop end to end. The goal has always been 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 environments, outdoor locations, and product-focused shoots. I have photographed objects, models, and natural environments for a range of purposes, including social media content, marketing campaigns, product presentation, and visual storytelling. Through this, I developed a strong understanding of lighting, composition, and atmosphere across different contexts.

    Most of my experience is self-taught and developed through hands-on practice at home. While I do not position myself as a studio photography specialist, my strength lies in creating atmosphere-driven imagery that brings subjects to life with a strong sense of mood and narrative.

    HANDCRAFTED WORK

    Crafting and working with my hands has always been an important part of my life, but it became a core part of my professional practice when I started the webshop The Flaming Feather in 2020. Since then, I have designed and produced over 5,000 potion bottles, all created as original concepts.

    Alongside this, I work with clay to sculpt various pieces, including dragon-inspired forms and other fantasy objects. I also enjoy painting across different mediums, including mural work, painted busts, and decorative pieces. Through these practices, I explore material, texture, and form as part of my broader visual storytelling approach.

  • Video

    ALL-ROUND
    My video work mainly consists of editing my own filmed content, developed through hands-on experience rather than formal training. I am proficient in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects, and have created a wide range of social media videos for branding and content purposes.

    While I do not position myself as a video production specialist, I am highly experienced in editing, pacing, and crafting engaging visual narratives for digital platforms.

  • Social Media

    Social media is a core part of my creative expertise. I completed an internship where I created visual content for brands including Leen Bakker, Tefal, Blue Elephant, and others.

    Alongside this, I manage the social media channels for my own webshop, The Flaming Feather, across Instagram and TikTok, both of which have grown to nearly or over 10K followers. I create all content myself, from concept to execution, using a combination of mobile and professional tools such as Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, and Premiere Pro.

    Through this work, I developed strong experience in content creation, visual storytelling, and platform focused design for engagement and branding.
