About

I've been a freelance communication designer since 2013, designing for research labs, international organisations and mission-driven teams working on climate, innovation, social justice, clean energy, ocean observing and healthcare. I specialise in taking layered, dense ideas and turning them into stories that connect, educate and inspire people. My work spans visual identities, white papers, reports, policy toolkits and gamification. I have typesetting experience across 20+ EU languages. In 2026, I published my first children's non-fiction book about renewable energy. I’m based in Belgium and work globally.
