Rose
26 years, Willem de Kooning Academy
How did you get started in the creative sector?
"I actually started at the Graphic Lyceum because I really wanted to draw. After that, I didn't really know what to do, so I spent an extra year working as an entrepreneur. During my gap year, I did find out that I needed a little more knowledge. So I started studying at the Willem de Kooning advertising."
What forms of creativity are you practicing now?
"The expression my creativity now takes is mainly photography and videography. I do that now as a job and of course sometimes in my spare time. I just think it's cool to do creative portraits."
What has Rotterdam taught you?
"What Rotterdam has taught me is that you can actually be whoever you are or whoever you want to be in the end."
