Background

About Ylva van Wijk

I’m Ylva, a passionate creative with a background in business and marketing, working at the intersection of art, interiors, and personal growth. With over 14 years of experience in (influencer)marketing, business development, and creative direction, I bring a strategic yet intuitive lens to everything I do, from building brands to designing soulful spaces. As co-founder of Wolf & Verra, I lead our interior design studio where we specialize in authentic, layered interiors that blend natural materials, curated art, and timeless style. We offer turn-key design solutions, styling, and art advisory, always tailored to uplift and inspire. In addition, I’m a partner at Chris Luka Artworks B.V, where I support the growth of contemporary artist Chris Luka. I manage the business side of the studio, from strategic positioning and partnerships to international representation and exhibitions, helping shape his artistic journey with a strong foundation. As a passion project, my entrepreneurial drive extends into the holistic space as well. As co-founder of Wholistic World, I organize and curate retreats that support personal transformation, reconnecting individuals with their essence through breathwork, nature, and sacred community. I believe in the power of aesthetics, alignment, and authenticity, whether in a living space through art or interior, a business, or a personal journey. My work brings together creativity and clarity, strategy and soul.
