Hi, I'm Lydia
As a journalist, I have over 15 years of experience conducting in-depth research on the emergence of innovative technologies.
I specialize in resource efficiency, recycling, renewable energy, water conservation, and food.
Before specializing in this field, I wrote extensively about sustainable design, architecture, culture, art, photography, and health.
I write in English and Dutch, and my articles have been translated into half a dozen other languages, including Japanese, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, and Polish.
Reach: up to 2 million readers, as many international media outlets republish my articles, include shortened versions, or link to them.

Core values
As a dedicated journalist and photographer, I adhere to a set of core values that guide my work. In-depth research is at the heart of every story I pursue, ensuring that my reporting is thorough and well-informed.
I believe in being accountable for every detail, which is why I record every interview and preserve raw image files, providing transparency and integrity to my work.
Additionally, I understand the importance of meeting deadlines, knowing that timely delivery is crucial in today's fast-paced media landscape. By combining these values, I strive to produce trustworthy and compelling reporting that not only informs but also inspires confidence in my audience.
I strongly believe that high-quality journalism is essential to maintaining a proper democratic society, as it empowers citizens with accurate information and holds those in power accountable, fostering a more informed and engaged public discourse.
