About
I love bringing ideas to life, whether that happens in front of a camera, on a stage, or behind the scenes.
"What starts as an idea today can change someone else's story tomorrow."
From idea to reality...
My name is Samuël Mechielsen. I am 16 years old and I love presenting, acting, socializing, but above all, inspiring people.
What perhaps characterizes me most is that I enjoy doing something with the ideas that spring into my head.
I don't know exactly where my story ends yet. But I do know that along the way, I want to create, learn, and mean as much as possible.
"I don't just want to come up with ideas. I want to give them a face."
What drives me?
Presenting
In front of a camera, on a stage, or in front of a group: I love conveying a story.
Acting
Playing a character, telling a story, and taking people into another world.
(Content) Creation
From an empty idea to something that people can actually see, hear, and experience.
People
I love collaborating, socializing, and especially inspiring people to take action themselves.
My journey
From my first videos to the creative maker I am today.
Over the years, I have learned primarily by trying, creating, and sometimes just diving headfirst into something. Every year brought something new. Think of a new idea, a new project, or a new challenge.
Together, they form the story of where I come from and where I want to go.
SGNGameChannel
I discovered that I enjoyed not only working behind a screen, but especially creating something for an audience. That idea would later reappear in more and more of my projects.
Media, performance & new ideas
That increasingly became the way I started looking at creativity.
Radio & Events
Through that, I discovered that I really enjoy being part of a larger whole, but also that I like taking initiative myself.
SGNProductions NL
From that grew SGNProductie: my own creative space to actually realize ideas. This company had been around for a while, but didn't receive much attention.
For me, SGNProductie is not just about a name or a company. It stands for something that became increasingly clear in my work: I don't just want to participate in other people's ideas. I also want to create, develop, and build myself.
That is perhaps one of the most important things I have learned during this period:
Having an idea is great. Actually doing something with it is where it begins.
Creative maker, student and entrepreneur
SGNProductie continues to grow, and I am working with a team on a new children's program. At the same time, I continue to develop my skills in presenting, acting, media, and creative production.
Outside of my own projects, I also remain active in various creative and entrepreneurial roles. For example, I am involved with Vonk Productions as Director of Operations.
More and more of what I enjoy is starting to come together: creativity, media, entrepreneurship, people, and storytelling.
And where is the journey going?
I don't know exactly what my story will look like in five or ten years. But I do know what I want to keep doing:
Make. Try. Learn. Present. Create. Inspire people.
Because when I look back at 2020, I don't see a single straight line. I see all kinds of small ideas and projects that eventually started to provide more and more direction.
And perhaps that is exactly what my journey is:
I don't just want to come up with ideas.
I want to give them a face.
Things you probably didn't know about me
I previously had my own clothing company.
I once worked on a clothing brand called "Pointer Clothing". The idea was that all proceeds would go to charity. Additionally, I had SGNShop, focused on merchandise. Not everything has to be a lasting success in the end, but I take something away from every project.
I love writing...
And who knows… you might see just a little bit more of that soon. 👀
I have a weakness for ideas that are far too big.
But yeah… someone has to make them eventually.
Do you have an idea?
A creative collaboration, project, presentation, or just a good conversation? I am open to new ideas.
