 +32490438641Belgian-based trained architect, curator, and researcher. I approach my work through a spatial lens, integrating design, installation, and critical inquiry to explore how architecture can operate as a social and cultural agent. My practice draws on fieldwork, curatorial methodologies, and collaborative processes to engage with questions of authorship, public space, and material memory. 

In addition to a Master’s degree in Architecture from the University of Antwerp and ENSA Paris-Belleville, I completed a postgraduate program in Curatorial Studies at KASK & Conservatorium in Ghent. My background also includes training in culinary arts and a strong interest in photography, both of which continue to inform my aesthetic and conceptual approach. 

I have contributed to scenographic teams for cultural festivals such as Kunstenfestivaldesarts or Doel Festival and completed an internship with the Public Art Collection of Antwerp at the Middelheim Museum. Curatorially, I co-curated group exhibitions at Kunsthal Gent, De Zwarte Zaal and for 1M3 of the Kunstenbibliotheek. I have taken part in projects exploring performance, cultural heritage, and the politics of display.
