自我介绍

HI let me introduce to you my sweet family, Hester, Ibrahim and our son Khalil. We are both creative directors, Hester in Amsterdam and Ibrahim in M'hamid el Ghizlane - Morocco " the door to the Sahara". We met 10 years ago while Hester was working with the women in the community. This incredible meeting resulted in a very happy, energetic and spirited boy who is now 8 years old. Hester: “I love to create wonderful experiences, concepts and brands where people take center stage. I enjoy to share my international expertise and experience, and co-create social and economic improvement for local communities wherever possible.” After her study at the Utrecht academy of arts, Hester worked as an international designer in New York, Istanbul and Mumbai. In 2004 she co-founded Butterfly Works, and as its art director was responsible for the development and monitoring of various concepts, products and brands. In M'hamid Hester and Ibrahim developed the project "carpet of life" (Website hidden by Airbnb) a wonderful way to cherish your memories in a handmade carpet by the women in the oasis. Ibrahim: Ibrahim is co- founder and creative director of the Taragalte festival and fouder of the bivouac "Le petit prince" which is also the location of the festival.
