I was doing a yoga training when I realised that I was done searching for myself. For a long time, I felt like I needed to find who I was supposed to be. But during that training something shifted, and I decided to stop searching. When I stopped, the Noniz appeared. The Noniz are small characters where everyone is allowed to be themselves. They are unique and imperfect. Growing up, I always felt different. I was diagnosed with ADHD and I was always the energetic, jumping kid. I often felt different from the rest. For a long time that felt difficult, but now I realise that this is actually my greatest strength. That is what the Noniz stand for: the courage to be yourself and the courage to be different, because that might be your most beautiful strength.

From these characters, The Noniz Play Method emerged, which explores ten different parts within us. Besides that, I also turn people into their own Noni characters and collaborate with different companies.

Through drawing, I became more myself because it helped me reconnect with who I am. It is my therapy, my creativity, and everything is drawn intuitively.
