More about me

I’m a freelance video game producer with 12+ years of experience across indie game development and publishing. As founder of Cohop Games, I hop on board to ship your game, together.

Game development is complex: full of moving parts, shifting priorities, and unforeseen challenges.
I’m comfortable managing multi-studio collaborations and I work closely with external partners, stakeholders and platform holders to turn creative vision into executable production plans. With a proven track record across original IP and work-for-hire projects in a wide range of genres, scopes, and platforms, I lead teams through complex projects with clarity, compassion, and momentum.

Beyond my work as a Producer, I am a board member of the Games [4Diversity] Foundation, dedicated to improving the representation of minorities in games and the games industry. We organize a game industry boat on the Utrecht Canal Pride, as well as game jams, workshops and meetups focused on creating visibility and better understanding for underrepresented people in games.

I started my career in games as a journalist, writing for Gamer.nl and other Dutch publications. From there, I moved into production, PR, and marketing at Game Oven, the studio behind Bounden and Fingle – a formative time that shaped how I think about play. I later became Communications Manager at the game incubator Dutch Game Garden, where I helped young studios grow their businesses and built bridges between developers, publishers, and institutions by organizing events like INDIGO. After that, I joined Mipumi Games in Vienna, where I spent 5 years as a producer on a wide variety of original and work-for-hire projects across multiple platforms and production scopes.

In 2024, I launched my own business, Cohop Games, where I work as a freelance producer with studios across the globe. As Lead Producer at The Powell Group, I manage several titles in the Humble Games portfolio.
