      Lead textile designer & product development. Forecasting the future needs and trends in textiles & sourcing these textiles for our new collection all over the world - India, China, Turkey & Italy. Keeping in touch with our international suppliers & double checking the production. My passion is working with colors for the collection and presenting the new collection to our team & clients. Twice a year we attend textile fairs and I am involved in designing the fair & all that come with it - invites, gadgets and our corporate identity. It’s never boring and always changing!

      JAB / Chivasso is a wholesaler for curtain textiles, upholstery fabrics and wallpaper and is sells their collections in more than 150 different countries.Within the company I am mainly occupied with developing and designing the new collections at our design studio in The Hague. For this it is most important to always be aware of the latest trends and concepts.I keep close contact with suppliers both in and outside Europe and I am responsible for the image and sourcing of the collection. As a result, I regularly visit Turkey, Spain, Italy, England and Germany.I also work together with my fellow stylists on the design and layout of our exhibition stands, display windows and showrooms. After every collection is finished I present this in a creative storytelling concept to our international sales team in order to excite them for selling our great textiles.
