Verbeek Interieur
Verbeek Interieur is a local interior carpentry studio near Leuven, focused on custom interior work. I designed a brand identity that translates their craft into a sharp, usable mark, colour system, export set, and practical style guide.
Van Dender
Van Dender is a Belgian chocolatier with a long-standing reputation for handmade pralines and chocolate. I refreshed the identity across the wordmark, packaging, signage, campaign layouts, and digital direction so the brand could feel more specific, recognisable, and premium.
KU Leuven
For KU Leuven, I designed the visual identity and web-based data visualisations for a research project about artist archives and cultural heritage in Flanders. The work gave dense research material a clearer structure across the project mark, interface direction, report visuals, and network navigation.
GAlA
GAlA is an organisation with a strong public-facing profile. I worked there as a communication designer across national campaigns, developing parts of the existing brand system while producing campaign visuals, ads, videos, templates, photography, and internal guidelines.
Other work

Mino.
Mino. is an Armenian restaurant with a shiny new identity built around a custom wordmark, one symbol, hand-pressed menus, business cards, signage, and brand applications. I designed the system in collaboration with Kamer to be culturally rooted, recognisable, and practical in real restaurant use.

SERV is a government administration organisation working around socio-economic consultation and advice. I redesigned the brand identity and built a clearer visual system for the main brand, commissions, reports, and public-facing materials.
-
Van Looy
Van Looy is an event and entertainment production company working behind the scenes on stages, shows, and live experiences. I designed a sharper identity for them, including the logo, typography, colour system, and core brand assets.
-
Bruxelles Ma Belle
Bruxelles Ma Belle is a podcast commissioned by the Archdiocese of Mechelen-Brussels about hopeful stories from the capital. I designed the visual identity, typography direction, digital artwork, and platform-ready mockups for the launch.
+6 Years
I have built my design practice through years of regular practice, feedback, and production work.
4 Languages
French, Dutch, and English for clear communication. JavaScript, HTML and CSS for front-end development and automation.
5 Touchpoints
I design across web, social, email, print, and campaigns so messages stay consistent in real use.
Locally rooted
I understand Belgian audiences from lived experience. Brussels has been my home for 27 years.
I am most useful where brand judgement, visual systems, and practical front-end thinking need to meet. I like work that has to be clear in public, usable by a team, and strong enough to carry a real message.
The projects above show range, but they also point to the same habit: taking complex material and giving it a sharper form. If there might be a fit, send the role, the team context, and the part of the work that made you pause.
