Growing up in a family of sailors, Brenda got used to being on the water from an early age. After finishing her degree in International Hotel Management she left Holland behind to pursue a career in yachting. During these 10 years she quickly learned that there was little support for the interior staff during new builds and outfitting periods, therefore she started her own interior outfitting and decorating company in 2004, which merged with Yacht Chandlers in 2011. At Yacht Chandlers Europe she loves being able to combine her passion for interior and interior design with her love for yachting.
