About Pauline

As a graduate of the prestigious Design Academy Eindhoven, I bring a contemporary perspective to the traditional craft of stained glass making.

With over 15 years of experience in architectural glass design, my work combines traditional techniques with modern design principles, creating pieces that bridge the gap between historical craftsmanship and contemporary aesthetics.
