Hello, it's very nice meeting you. My name is Irene Hoofs and I'm the founder and editor of the Bloesem blogs.
Bloesem Kids is where I garner and share ideas for design, for leisurely pursuits, for creating soul-soothing interiors, for love of the handmade, for vintage appreciation and for the art of traveling. My vision is to be an online reference where readers come to, as a resource for beauty and imagination, in a moment of repose and relaxation.
I created Bloesem in December 2006. Leaving my hometown Amsterdam for the first time in 1997, I have enjoyed roaming the globe for a couple of years making stop overs in London, New York, Toronto and Kuala Lumpur.
As a graphic designer, I sold my work through BARNEYS NY and Selfridges&co. Today I live in Singapore with my husband Rik and our two sons, Lode and Kiet.
From my home office overlooking a bamboo garden, I aspire to bring outside-the-mainstream daily finds to you my dear readers, with a slight bias for Dutch design. {ps. and yes I Tweet too}
Zara S. is a passionate instagrammer and recent graduate from NUS Division of Industrial Design in Singapore.
After spending too much of her time in university on youtube and reading blogs, she found her through passion in social media.
Her other interests include photography, styling and DIY. She also likes singing, though she would refute this fact :)
Bloesem is very happy to have her as a member of the team and enjoys her enthusiastic approach to work, her beautiful sense of style and her pins for Bloesem's pinterest board.

I'm Nora Vrba. Art director and leaf and image maniac.
After completing the Design Academy and working several years as a designer for several companies, in early 2005 I started working for Media Partners Group.
In October 2011 it was time to broaden my creative horizons and strike out on my own. You can hire me for a project, from concept to production. Or just for part of it. Apps, websites, inserts, b-to-c or identities.
