About the speaker
Our first speaker is Karin Hesselvik!
Karin is a creative visionary, women’s health advocate and strategist with over 20 years experience shaping stories and experiences for global brands. Karin believes in the power of connection and in fueling the spark that happens when ideas, people and experiences come together to disrupt the status quo. Her latest project MMEET seeks to disrupt the narrative on ageing and (peri)menopause with a bold new platform for midlife women to connect, gather and get loud.
Our second speaker is Denaé Vorster!
Denaé is an art director, conceptual creative, and visual artist. Her work spans branding, motion design, and immersive experience design – and it all begins with a story. From there, she builds imaginative worlds that branch out from the narrative’s core. She develops concepts, art direction, and visuals for immersive experiences in museums, live shows, and interactive spaces. Denaé’s strength lies in uncovering the initial story, the “what and why” that forms the foundation of every project. This narrative-first approach allows her to work across a diverse range of disciplines. Her work is grounded in thoughtful intent, a clever backstory, and an unwavering commitment to staying true to the creative vision throughout the development process.
Our third speaker is Michael Borowiec!
Michael is an Amsterdam-based creative strategist with a deep curiosity for technology, communication, design, and the spaces where they intersect. He founded WIOSNA to collaborate with early-stage projects driven by bold ideas and unconventional thinking. He works with startups and scale-ups in AI, web3, and energy transition, helping them communicate clearly, build strong brands, and grow businesses that last.

Additional details
To celebrate another year of CreativeMornings Amsterdam, we’re bringing back one of our favorite traditions: Audience Takes the Stage. It’s a chance for our community members—designers, dreamers, rebels, and rule-breakers—to share the spotlight.
The theme? PUNK.
PUNK stands for challenging the status quo and making noise when silence isn’t an option. It’s brutal honesty and the raw beauty of doing things your own way.
