    About Kelvin
    When I see water I have to jump in, I love surfing and react like a golden retriever when the word adventure is mentioned. Among my friends I am known as the friend that fixes anything. Professionally I taught at the university of arts about designing for nature for 7 years now. I also worked in marketing as a creative art director for 3 years while doing product design on the side.

    About Fien
    I love animals and nature so much that I made protecting them my lifes mission :) I have worked in chimpanzee protection and farm animal welfare and hold an Msc in Animal welfare and Behaviour. I have many hobbies, from yoga and surfing to making jewelry to organizing womens circles and retreats! My friends would describe me as an enthusiastic, openminded, caring and relaxed woman who's always in for either deep conversations or road trips ;).

  • More details about your skills

    Fiens skills
    I have professionally worked for several animal welfare and conservation NGOs for the past 5 years (chimpanzee conservation and farm animal welfare). Therefore I have extensive knowledge on animal welfare and behaviour, research, but also fundraising, PR, social media and communication. Besides this I love event planning and volunteer coordination, and I have recently started organizing my own womens circles and retreats :) I have also worked in the hospitality sector (bars) for many years, so i love making people feel at home! Besides this, I love gardening, being creative (crafting, painting etc).
