Sophie Stravens

Sophie Stravens is a presenter, programme maker and performer. She learned to think analytically about and work on our living environment at the Faculty of Architecture at TU Delft. She obtained a second master’s degree in music theatre from the Fontys University of Applied Sciences in Tilburg, which helped her to develop her skill in conveying a story to an audience. She makes optimal use of this experience in her work, with a focus on spatial development, art and culture. As a presenter and moderator she is critical where necessary, yet always with energy, enthusiasm and flair, and she has an ability to make real contact.
