about

As a photographer and graphic & brand designer, I simply love books & papers, beautiful spaces & interiors and the creation of nature itself. And of course, (most) people and animals are great to work with!

For my bachelor in Graphic Design, I graduated cum laude at LUCA school of arts in Ghent. After I took a course in Branding & Packaging Design, followed by the bachelor in Photography at NARAFI in Brussels, which I finished in 2023.

So if you are in need of a (corporate) portrait, interior shoot, a logo & visual identity or other graphic outlet, feel free to contact me and we can talk ideas! I would love to talk ideas and bring them to life!

water photography

In my work – and in life in general – my special interest goes out to (the relation between) women, water and wellbeing.

Water connects us all and is the essence of all life, and its cyclical nature is something us women can strongly feel related to. The importance of our waters being pure, clean and flowing is key for healthy life and living all over this beautiful planet, and should be honored and protected, and in its infinity be available to all.

In my ongoing series — Well I focus on the beauty, strength and versatility of our waters. Since four winters, I have been swimming outdoors the whole year round and this brings me so much clarity and peace of mind! To see more, check out this website:
