Having lived in South Africa, The Netherlands, Indonesia, and now in Hong Kong, Sarie has a very international experience, absorbing different cultures on a daily basis. Making from her interest for travel part of her job, but not before completing a Master’s degree in Marketing from the Tilburg University in The Netherlands, Sarie joined the CARTILS team in 2008, where she could combine her personal passion with her work.
After having started as a Project Manager, Sarie was eager to learn increasingly more about packaging design and branding, and to combine this with providing the best level of service to the company’s clients. At the end of 2014 Sarie was involved, as the first team member, in the start-up of CARTILS’ Hong Kong office, and is now Client Brand Director Asia Pacific. She advises large international clients such as Carlsberg, Nestle Waters, APU, and Pernod Ricard on their branding and packaging design. On a daily basis Sarie works with teams of different disciplines, including specialized design teams and production experts, to ensure the results delivered to clients are the highest possible quality.
Personally Sarie has a passion for Design, Photography, Culture, and enjoys Hiking in the mountains of Hong Kong.
