True self, or the feeling of being alive.
“True self” is a series of portraits that is aimed at raising awareness for women with cancer who are dealing with the visible side effects of cancer treatment and inviting people to see beyond their own fear of cancer.
In order to mentally or emotionally cope with their cancer, women still need to feel beautiful and desirable. They need people to look at their true self, beyond cancer.
By celebrating their unique beauty, “True self” is a tribute to these so many beautiful and resilient women.
Go girls, you are beautiful. You really are.

A collection of surface and textile design investigating the effect of time on our possessions.
How does a product change over time?
What remains of a product after it is being left for a few decades?
The textile takes possession of the furniture, becomes part of it. It leaves an imprint, like fossils.
Time Will Tell invites us to focus on the lifespan of our products.

How can responsive design bring awareness to many floral species exinction threat?
« Hide-and-seek with the missing » is a flooring design aiming at bring awareness and inform the population on the importance of the management and the preservation of nature.
Inspired by “the floristic list for the threatened species” in Wallonia, Belgium, “Hide And Seek With The Missing” is a poetic way of protecting our biodiversity.
«Hide-and-seek with the missing» is a flooring design aimed at bringing awareness and inform the population on the importance of management and the preservation of nature.
lllustrations of threatened species appear and disappear on the floor, reacting to sunlight, just like playing hide and seek with the flowers.
It is a photochromic screen-printed composition on a wood floor. The print, which appears to be tone on tone in the shadow, will reveal a vivid color palette when exposed to UV light, as, for example, through a window when the sun is shining.
As flowers react to their environment, the project shows the parallel between the effective disappearance of the species, and the metaphoric disappearance of the plants in the shadow.
SynestheBag is a textile collection for a bag for the "The Sensory Travel Experiences and Future Textiles" contest sponsored by Samsonite. The collection is inspired by synesthesia, a condition in which one experiences the blending of two or more senses.
