About me
I originally graduated as a Visual Artist but my love for shoes was strong, so I decided to retrain as a Footwear Designer. I moved from Belgium to London in 2012 to kickstart my career in footwear, since then I have worked for both commercial and independent brands realising their women’s & children’s footwear ranges right from sketching up ideas, through to working with factories on the final products. Next to designing shoes, I have kept drawing and illustrating which I love doing. Since a very early age I have always been drawing or have gotten crafty making things, maybe it was because I was an only child and had to keep myself busy most of the time, I pretty much lived in my own little fantasy world, and maybe I still do!

    ABC Project - Illustrated children's alphabetWith a childhood memory in mind of me practicing the alphabet in French with my mum, I decided to create a playful illustrated abc for children. I clearly remember the first page of my little book which was the ‘A pour Avion’, so of course it had to be an ‘Airplane’ for my letter ‘A’.
