My story

I've always been passionate about design and visuals, and I feel incredibly lucky to be able to work as a graphic designer for a living.

As a child, I was always drawn to creating—whether through drawing, building with Legos, or simply crafting something new. The tools I loved most were the basics: blank canvases, pencils, markers, and paint. I grew up hearing that imagination was more valuable than intelligence, which struck me as unusual but resonated deeply with me. This mindset pushed me to let my creativity guide me and gave me a strong foundation in visual exploration from a young age.

In my teenage years, skateboarding became a huge part of my life, introducing me to a whole new world of art and expression. Skate culture inspired me; I fell in love with the art behind skateboard designs and the unique stories each brand told through its visuals. Through skateboarding, I discovered not only art but also videography and music. This path naturally led me into the world of parties and electronic music, which soon became another major influence on my creative journey. The design aspects of this scene fascinated me—poster art, logos, merch, CD jackets, and real-time visual performances at events. The energy and vibrancy of these designs had a lasting impact on my own style and artistic interests.

With this inspiration, I decided to pursue a formal education in graphic design and visual communication. School allowed me to refine my craft and broaden my understanding of visual language, while the music and art scenes helped me develop my personal taste. As I continued to explore design, I started creating my own work—designing, experimenting with interactive visuals, and learning how to turn my passion into something tangible. Now, design is not only my profession but also a way for me to connect with the world and bring ideas to life.

My journey

Work experience

Freelance, 2016 — Present

I began freelancing as a graphic designer in 2016, doing small projects for friends and people I knew after school and on weekends. What started as a casual way to help out quickly turned into something more serious, as I took on increasingly ambitious projects. Even after I landed my first job, I kept freelancing as a way to satisfy my hunger for creativity and free myself from some of the constraints and frustrations that can come with agency work. It became a valuable outlet, allowing me to explore ideas and push my designs in new directions.

Whitecube, 2019 — 2024

During my time at Whitecube, I gained a solid foundation in UX and UI design, learning the essential digital principles to create impactful web experiences. I also developed a deep understanding of accessibility, focusing on how to design websites that are inclusive and welcoming for everyone. This experience gave me the tools to build user-centered designs that are immersive and yet functional and accessible.

Festiv@, 2014 — 2017

My very first professional experience as a graphic designer was at Festiv@ Liège, where I quickly adapted to working in a team within a fast-paced environment. It was an invaluable opportunity to learn about print design, brand identities, and the versatility of design assets across different visual communication mediums. This role gave me hands-on experience in creating cohesive visuals that could effectively engage and communicate across various formats.
