Homepage. Diana Krabbendam. Mijn achtergrond Als ontwerper met een brede belangstelling voor de verschillende aspecten van het ontwerpvak, ontwikkelde ik mij van ontwerper voor merken tot ontwerper, inspirator en organisator voor creatieve vernieuwingsprocessen. Als ontwerper werkte ik jaren voor grote opdrachtgevers, zoals Rabobank, Mexx, PTT, Vroom & Dreesmann, Heineken. en vele anderen, om daarna de kant van het bedrijfsleven te leren kennen bij Randstad.

Als design director was ik verantwoordelijk voor de corporate identity van het Randstad merk en betrokken bij de ontwikkeling van de corporate identity van nieuwe merken, zoals Yacht. Van 2004-2008 was ik hoofdredacteur van Items, tijdschrift voor ontwerpen en verbeelding en was initiatiefnemer en hoofdredacteur van de Amsterdam Index (verscheen in 2006 en 2007). Huidige praktijk Als bestuurslid ben ik betrokken bij Contract (masteropleiding opgezet door Concern), Transartists, ACX, Syndicaat (stichting van de kunstenaar AlexVermeulen).

I was never good at sports: always picked last for the team, left warming the bench, and getting ribbons for “participation” instead of placing in the top 3.

Michelle Kasprzak · Art + Life + Technology

For years I just assumed that I’m no good at any kind of sport and the only thing I can do is go for walks and do the occasional bit of yoga to ensure I don’t become a total couch potato. Fast forward to now: barring travel to far-flung places, I’m religiously in the gym three times a week, doing barbell squats, deadlifts, overhead presses, rows, and bench presses. My personal records so far are a 70kg squat, 75kg deadlift, 50kg bench press, 32.5kg overhead press, and 38kg row.

There is something special about getting under the barbell and lifting something heavy (especially if it’s almost as heavy or heavier than you are). The challenge quickly becomes as mental as it is physical, as you wonder if you are truly capable of doing it. I am going to take this as far as I can, no looking back.
