“Design should be something that matters. To date, everything is becoming immaterial and increasingly virtual, but our lives are inseparable from our material needs, hence designs have to be functionally fit for their purposes and also aesthetically pleasing. I like being meticulous and in the design process I try to get the most out of everything by employing the
least resources.”

Marijke was a senior graphic designer at ELLE Decoration for a considerable period of time: ‘Although I loved my job, at the end of 2012 I felt it was time
for a change, so I decided to start a new business with my favorite designer Sander Lucas, who also happened to be my husband.
