Anne-marie Twigge
My core values are curiosity and creativity and over the years I have been constantly adding expertise through work and education. After spending six years in Asia, I returned to The Netherlands and completed my MA in Artistic Research after kickstarting my artistic and visual upskilling in New York at the School of Visual Arts. It is in The Hague at the Royal Academy of Art where I believe to have completed my own expert trifecta across, business commerce, behavioural psychology, and aesthetics.
My mission is to help companies deliver meaningful experiences that leverage new technology, new organizational structures, and cultural shifts that demand visionary change. I am goal-oriented,
curious and creatively passionate about all that I set my mind to, and willing to take risks in order to capture opportunities and achieve goals, for myself, my clients and the teams that I build and manage. But also, with the students that I work with.
I put these qualities in action every day as a pragmatic leader, in building a human-centric business offering; in motivating teams with humor, humility, and encouragement; and in working with partners to find solutions to business challenges.
My work travels across many continents and disciplines. I have built a creative and strategic practice that involves concept development, marketing, communications, service design experiments,
content production and collaboration in teams that include all levels of seniority and expertise.
