My fascination with art and form started young, spending hours making creations with whatever I could get my hands on.

I discovered my love for interior design, speciﬁcally, in highschool while exploring the Design Museum in Ghent, Belgium. Walking through the historical exhibits and seeing projects by local design students, I thought, Iwanttodothat.

Connecting with people is where I thrive. With experience spanning lighting, residential, and hospitality design, I bring a versatile and thoughtful approach to every project.
