HI! I'M THEA
ABOUT ME
I’m a creative at heart who sees the world through an eye that finds beauty in everything; in wide landscapes as much as in the smallest details.
My work lives at the intersection of writing, photography, and food: I wrote a book about the beauty and struggles of life, I capture quiet moments and places through my camera, and I bring people together through delicious food.
Based in Utrecht and originally from Germany, I’m drawn to telling honest stories, creating meaningful experiences, and making an ordinary day special.
BIOGRAPHY
I was born in 2005 in Hamburg, Germany, where I grew up surrounded by the rhythms of city life.
Traveling from a young age sparked my curiosity about the world, and after finishing school and spending some time working, I set off on journeys through Central America, Portugal, France, and Spain, discovering new cultures, landscapes, and experiences that continue to inspire me.
ACADEMICS
After returning from my travels,
I moved to Utrecht, the Netherlands,
to begin my studies.
I am majoring in Cognitive Neuroscience
and Medical Science, with a minor in
Biology and Psychology.
I am on track to complete my
Honors Bachelor of Science in the summer of 2027.
HOBBIES
Beyond my academic pursuits,
I am passionate about writing,
photography, and cooking.
I also love the ocean, where I spend my free time swimming and surfing,
and I enjoy long walks, preferably along the beach or through snow, as well as reading good books, painting, dancing to a favorite song, or getting completely absorbed in a special interest.
3 MINUTES
3 Minutes is my debut novel.
Set on the most important day of her life, the protagonist reflects on life, love, pain, and friendship, exploring how even the smallest emotions shape who we are and how we experience the world.
More than a debut, 3 Minutes is a deeply honest story. Not a book to escape life, but a reminder of meaning, love, and the care we owe one another.
It invites you to slow down, reflect, and leave with a sense of gratitude.
MY PHOTOGRAPHY
Since I was little, my father taught me to frame the world with my hands.
To pause, look closely, and capture the quiet beauty in small details.
Photography became my way of holding onto fleeting moments, of capturing not just life on camera, but a feeling in a form that can last.
I offer prints on request, printed on 220g premium paper or on aluminium.
Please see the gallery for selected works.
PRIVATE DINING
I love bringing people together over food, and I offer on-site cooking for up to 10 people.
Every menu is crafted around your preferences, turning an ordinary evening into a little everyday luxury.
Think of it as enjoying the flavors and care of a homecooked meal, without its mental load. I handle the cooking and cleaning, so you can relax, laugh, and savor every bite in the comfort of your home.
Whether it’s a casual dinner with friends or a special celebration, I bring creativity, heart, and memorable flavors straight to your table.
