Let me introduce myself
I'm a Belgian-American graphic designer and visual artist. My academic journey includes a bachelor's degree in Communication & Design and a postgraduate degree in Motion Design. Currently, I'm exploring the world of Fashion Design through a postgraduate program.
Although I call Brussels home, I'm currently experiencing life abroad in Lisbon. I have a passion for learning and am always eager to expand my skills.
Living in Dublin, Ireland, for eight years and coming from a multicultural background has shaped me into someone who thrives in diverse environments. I enjoy embracing new challenges and opportunities for growth.
My time at the College of Art & Design (C.A.D) was truly rewarding. I had the chance to complete enriching internships and learn from working professionals who guided us along the way. The school's emphasis on cultural experiences further enhanced my journey and fueled my creativity.
