About
Raised in Thailand. Trained in Europe. Built for the brands that live between cultures, and refuse to be ordinary.
Cornelis, Creative director & founder
Story
I've been the one behind the camera for as long as I can remember. It started with my father, an underwater filmmaker who taught people to dive and filmed everything along the way. After he passed, I held onto his footage and photos, and somewhere in that, I found my own obsession with capturing moments. By fourteen I was in photography classes, by every family trip after that, I was the one filming.
That instinct never left. Cornelis Creations carries my father's name, Cornelis, because everything I do now still traces back to him, the way he saw the world, and the way I learned to see it too.
I'm Thai-Belgian, raised in Thailand, formed professionally in Switzerland. Two worlds, fully lived. That's why brands that exist between cultures trust me to tell their story properly, I'm not guessing at either side.
Every project I take on gets everything I've got, start to finish, because I don't know how to do it any other way. I'm not interested in growing a roster of clients I barely know. I'm interested in brands I actually connect with. Once I do, you get everything, my eye, my instinct, my full attention, because your story matters as much to me as it does to you.
And this is only the beginning. Cornelis Creations is building toward something bigger than an agency, more on that soon.
How we work
Every engagement starts the same way, a real conversation. From there, the path depends on what you need. Some brands want an ongoing partner, strategy, content, and production running every month. Others need one focused project, a single shoot, fully delivered, no ongoing management. Either way, it starts with discovery, then voice and strategy, then production, in-house, start to finish. The full breakdown lives on our Services page.

If you have an independent brand with a story worth telling, we'd love to hear it. Five minutes, four steps, and we'll write back within 48 hours.
