Hi, I’m Tristan Lavender, and I’ve been an observer for as long as I remember.
Born as the son of an English father and a Dutch mother, I grew up in The Netherlands. After graduating in psychology at the University of Leiden and briefly working as a journalist in Australia, I switched careers to marketing.
I currently work as a senior global content strategist, writer and editor at Philips. Next to that, I am an avid photographer. I live in Ede, The Netherlands, although I prefer to be up in the air, heading for new destinations.
Writing was my first love. Then I discovered photography. Now I am combining both. My passion has always remained the same: sharing stories. Because if you observe closely, there’s always more than meets the eye.
