Sammy-Rae Niekoop

Creative spirit, artist, barista. Playfully sharp, radiant _Rae_ of light.
We first met Sammy behind the coffee machine at Caffenation, where every cup she served felt like a small piece of art. Somewhere between coffees, conversations, and countless laughs, she became part of the Eat Dust family.When we asked her to step in front of the camera, we nudged her a little out of her comfort zone. Looking at these photographs, you'd never guess.They capture exactly what we've always seen: someone who pours herself into everything she does: whether she's brewing coffee, making art, cheering people on, laughing out loud, even complaining (as she would say)If she's doing it, she's doing it wholeheartedly.

Intro by Penelope Deltour

This is Sammy-Rae at her home and in her studio, on what was probably the warmest day of June. She styled herself in the latest Eat Dust and Girls of Dust collection, with the help of Gijs.
