During my internship at Grafisch Atelier Haarlem, I had the opportunity to explore graphic design in a more traditional way, something I had always felt was missing during my time at school.

Not only did this experience allow me to explore my creativity in a new way, but it also taught me to let go of my perfectionism. I learned to embrace the imperfections, enjoy the process, and feel more confident in simply making things.

Lino printing was the only traditional printing technique I had ever tried before. During these five months, I got to dive into a whole new world of printing techniques, from screen printing and cyanotype to drypoint and etching.
