About

I am passionate about designing, enhancing, and sustaining the world around us—whether that be on paper, on screen, or in everyday life. For me, shaping is not just a passion but a necessity.

Birthconcept Crazy little king called Love

This project centered on a custom birth and greeting card set, brought to life using the timeless technique of letterpress combined with foil printing and edge painting. The matching buttons and stickers were created using the same refined processes. As a special touch, the "shaker" keepsakes were completely handmade. Each piece was carefully sawed, sanded, painted, and then sealed with an epoxy coating to ensure a waterproof and durable finish.

Logo Design for Støk

The design communicates the brand's commitment to upcycling and highlights its creative approach to giving new life to found objects.

Logo and other deliverables for Dunya

I was tasked with designing a new logo for Dunya, a key part of the Pleegzorg Vlaanderen organization that specializes in foster care for non-native families. The goal was to develop a recognizable visual identity that would create a strong link to the main brand's new logo. The design had to be versatile enough for use on a wide range of communication materials—from small flyers to large-scale posters and brochures—to ensure a consistent and professional look for all their outreach efforts. The final logo was successfully integrated into their visual communications, strengthening their brand presence.
