I am a multi-disciplinary senior designer passionate about all things branding and digital.
Born and raised in Belgium, I then attended the University of Miami in Florida to pursue a degree in Creative Advertising and Interactive Media. I graduated as a top-six nominee for the Portfolio of the Year Award by the University of Miami’s School of Communication.
I then moved to New York City and began my career as a designer working with big names and brands representing a myriad of industries. Notable clients include Ellen Degeneres, Tiffany & Co, Tommy Hilfiger, Revlon, Toyota, and W Hotels. I worked with leading agencies; Laird+Partners, Pop Up Mob, and We Are BMF.
Moving to London, I then worked at Shed full-time, a branding and interior design studio where I mainly worked on branding, packaging, product design, campaigns, and environmental design.
From March-November 2021, I was freelancing and working directly with clients on branding projects. Since December 2021, I’ve been working full time as the Senior Commercial Designer (team lead) at Hearst UK.
