HOW IT STARTED
It took me a while to find my way here. As a kid, I spent quite a bit of time drawing and sewing, but somewhere along the way, I left those things behind. After trying out a few jobs and realising that something was missing, I started looking for creative study programmes in Belgium. Then I found Howest. The mix of design, technology and experimental projects caught my attention, and I decided to give it a shot. Looking back, it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made.
HOW IT’S GOING
These days, inspiration tends to find me everywhere. I collect postcards and flyers, keep a box of nicely designed kombucha cans (I know this is weird, but hey, we all have our weird stuff...), and spend my bus rides looking up at the buildings and spotting old shop signs that have somehow survived time.
When I’m making something, the beginning isn’t always pretty. I collect references, experiment, change things around and occasionally wonder if it’s all going anywhere. But then the pieces start to come together, and somehow they click. I’m still learning, still exploring, and very happy to be doing it.
