Today I introduce myself as a photographer, documentation, writer, and environmentalist. My twenties have been ruled by my passion for the environment, and more precisely, the Circular Economy. I started a company in China in sustainability training and consulting, and made the switch to a more creative approach in 2021. That's when I honed in on my strengths, and my joy, and basically followed that.

 

I am considered an expert in sustainability, environmental awareness, and the Circular Economy, and that is until today a big part of my work. Deeply passionate about human and planet wellbeing, I strive towards the complex 'balanced' bottom line People – Planet – Profits.

​

My education has been in Business Management, with a focus on Fashion Design & Luxury, and the Circular Economy. Together with my team in Shanghai, I ran over 150 workshops and seminars in China alone, spoke at TEDx twice, and appeared in over 15 media channels in the world, including but not limited to The New York Times, Elle China, CGTN, China Daily, Time Out and many more.

 

I am also a speaker at waste management and sustainability conferences. 

Currently, I am based in Europe where I still consult large international companies in sustainability, while also working in photography, documentary, and writing for brands. My books KAILU, The Open Road, and Shanghairen have been written in 2022 and will be released in the near future.

​

In the last year, I have photographed families, couples, weddings, self-love sessions, maternity, f&B venues, entrepreneurs, designers, and more. To have a look at my work, head over here.
