Available to hire
Hi, I’m Leen Demeester, a Belgian writer, educator and creative professional with a love for fashion, film and visual storytelling. My career spans teaching aesthetics and communications, writing English fashion books for Lannoo and Stichting Kunstboek, and running editorial projects for magazines and museums. I also work behind the scenes in PR, gallery management and online publishing, always aiming to connect culture, design and everyday life.
I am passionate about cross-cultural style, collaboration and lifelong learning. Whether I’m curating exhibitions, authoring books or shaping a museum’s public image, I bring a curious, friendly approach and a love for storytelling that celebrates fashion, art and cinema.
