Petra Boers (b. 1968) makes creative magazines and books and works as a journalist with a focus on young people. Together with Suzanne Hertogs (b. 1977), graphic artist and owner of the design company Ontwerphaven, she came up with the unique concept for DUF. Boers and Hertogs have recently created a ‘dancecyclopedia’ for young dancers, and the magazine GLAS for the National Glass Museum.
