Glassworks Amsterdam’s head of production has very specific tastes in porcelain and can’t stop talking about music once she gets going

A Sydneysider by birth, Glassworks’ head of production has lived in Amsterdam for quite a few years now and is completely at ease with the culture and way of life there. Professionally, she’s worked on various local brands and has also produced work for huge international clients such as Nike, Samsung, Netflix, Tesco, and booking.com. 

When we read that she has a passion for ‘60s Japanese porcelain cats and is often seen around Amsterdam rummaging through the vinyl catalogues in vintage stores for obscure ‘70s film soundtracks, we knew we had to ask her to share her Essential List.
