Bloesem Team

Founder and editor Irene Hoofs, a collector of all things beautiful, created Bloesem in December 2006. Leaving her hometown Amsterdam for the first time in 1997, Irene enjoyed roaming the globe for a couple of years making stop overs in London, New York and Toronto. A graphic designer, she sold her work through Barneys NY and Selfridges&co. Today she lives in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia with her husband Rik and two sons, Lode and Kiet. From her home office overlooking a bamboo garden, she aspires to bring outside-the-mainstream daily finds to her readers. {ps. and YES it is me the baby in the b&w images on the left and yes I Tweet too}

 

Editor Tiffany King was born in Nairobi, Kenya and has spent most of her life moving, though recently she purchased her first home with her husband, and is discovering how lovely permanent housing can be. She started off her career with a background in Documentary Film (where she also met her husband) but ended up opening a children's store a year later. She has since sold her business, and has refocused her attention on web design, writing, PR work, and opening a sweet shoppe someday. Though her hope still lingers to magically turn into Julie Andrews, she is thrilled and honored to be joining the Bloesem team. Tiffany's Tweets and her Journal.
