It was a great pleasure to work with Maartje during the project

Una Omeragic

I met Maartje at the Circular Fashion Games and was lucky to work with her in our Circular Solutions team. Maartje is a responsible, hard-working, creative young woman who is always willing to take the project a step further and make an extra effort to realize her ideas. She is a team member you can always rely on and with her great design skills and knowledge of sustainability, she can notably contribute to any environment. It is indeed a pleasure to work with her, and I am sure any company would benefit from having her on board!
