I split my time between being a freelancer and working for the communication team at the Applied Linguistics Department of the University of Ghent.

For the past six years, I was part of the team at Posture Editions, an independent publishing house of artbooks in Ghent, Belgium.
I love books and feel very blessed to have been part of their creation. You can buy the Posture books online.
Right after graduating, I got asked to design a book for the Grafische Cel. Together with Caroline and Inge, we made “A House for the Mind” about Dom Hans van der Laan. It earned the DAM Architectural Book Award in 2018.
During my internship at Meeusontwerp, I worked on the book ‘Een Ode aan de Liefde’ (‘Ode to Love’) by Alain Badiou. This was my first real book design ever, so I hold it dear. It was part of the student selection of the Best Verzorgde Boeken 2016.
G. magazine (now discontinued) dedicated an issue to the writer and philosopher Patricia de Martelaere. My contribution, a literal visual translation (in Illustrator) of the essay “De wereld is een woord” (The world is a word) ran throughout the entire magazine.
Me, Janna and Hilde of Meeusontwerpt made ‘bijkaartjes’(adverb cards). These cards could be used for, together with, besides, underneath or above all kinds of things.
I really enjoy having free time. Once I made a business card for myself that said, “tbh i’d rather nap”. I thought this was very funny.
Something else I found very funny, was the poster contribution I made to Ficciones Tipografica: “vrei als een”. The deliberate typo and rhyme only work in Dutch, but translated it means “free as an egg”.
I really enjoy working with my hands. That’s how I got into handprinting recently. It’s the perfect combination of drawing, printing techniques and just getting messy in my studio.
So there’s printed matter and then there’s the online world. I really like to code. I wrote & designed this (now offline) website for a friend’s research project about decolonization.
This page you're on, as well as the previous versions, were all coded by me.
I have worked for different corporate clients (Deloitte, Corialis, UGent, Tobania, ...). The end results are in their corporate identities, so I won't show them here, but I will show this poster inspired by Rihanna.
You've reached the end of the page. Feel free to get in touch or go back to the overview of my other projects. I hope the rest of your day is wonderful!
