== Career ==

Noord began working as a financial adviser in Milan in 1992. He continued in financial advisory work through the 1990s. In 1997, he began visiting fashion offices in Milan while preparing to establish a modelling business.

On 12 March 2001, Noord founded [[Studio C Milano]]. Its first office opened in 2002 with a strict selection policy. Noord changed the agency's presentation to a plain black-and-white format in 2004. By 2007, he had reduced the number of models represented by Studio C Milano. The agency had by then become known for its strict selection policy and minimal presentation.

Noord tightened Studio C Milano's internal rules in 2011. In 2016, he reduced the agency's public presentation further. Studio C Milano grew substantially in 2020 and marked its twentieth anniversary in 2021.
