About me.

Hi.
I'm Vita.

I'm a multidisciplinary communications and project professional based in Amsterdam.

My work sits somewhere between campaigns, communications, project management, visual design, events and fundraising.

I've worked across European civil society, political organisations and sustainability-focused projects, leading campaigns, coordinating international events, developing fundraising initiatives, creating visual systems and producing communications.

I have an MSc in Political Economy from the University of Amsterdam and experience working across international teams and projects.

I like complicated projects, short deadlines, ambitious ideas and being trusted to figure things out.

What I do.

You don't always need another agency. Sometimes you need someone who can understand the bigger picture, figure out what needs doing, and then actually do it. That's where I come in.

00

You have a thing that needs to happen.

01

Maybe it is a campaign.

02

Maybe it is a conference in three weeks.

03

Maybe your impact report still doesn't exist.

04

Maybe you have the strategy but nobody to actually make the thing.

05

Maybe you need someone to come into an existing team and just take ownership.

Strategy.

Project delivery.

Creative execution.

Some things
I've made happen.

01Campaign strategy / Creative direction / Project delivery

Housing justice
campaign.

Coming back to the Netherlands after working at FYEG, I noticed that while the housing crisis in Amsterdam had escalated, mobilisation around the issue had lost momentum. I developed a youth-led housing justice campaign through DWARS Noord-Holland Flevoland focused on one of the structural drivers of the crisis: housing speculation and financialisation.

FYEG.
European campaigns.

As Campaign & Events Officer at the Federation of Young European Greens (FYEG), I worked as part of the team delivering FYEG's campaign for the 2024 European Parliament elections. The campaign combined digital campaigning, volunteer organising, events, communications and Get Out The Vote activity across FYEG's European network.

Designed and implemented the visual identity for an international summit — a scalable system across digital, print and on-site environments.

How I work.

Think.
Make.
Deliver.

I like being involved early enough to understand why we're doing something, and close enough to the work to actually make it happen.

The process, start to loop
  1. 01

    Diagnose.

    Objective, audience, context, deadline, constraints.

  2. 02

    Frame.

    Turn the problem into a clear idea or direction.

  3. 03

    Build.

    Develop the campaign, system or creative assets.

  4. 04

    Deliver.

    Coordinate the moving parts and get it out into the world.

  5. 05

    Learn.

    What happened, what worked, what changes next time.

↺ what we learn feeds the next brief

Strategy is useful when it makes execution better. Execution is useful when it serves the objective. I work across both.
