visual artist and designer
Independent designer and visual artist based in The Hague since 2017, my research revolves around the dynamics which shape our cities and everyday lives, as well as the representations of functional and ideal humans and settings. I am currently focussing on the projections of idealised futures, wondering how the leading narrative is fashioned and repeated.
I completed my bachelor in Graphic Design at HEAD – Geneva (CH) in 2015 and graduated from the master Non Linear Narrative at KABK – The Hague (NL) in 2021. My practise merges artistic research, visual experimentation and investigative design, all grounded within an independent and critical attitude. In parallel, I am working on commissions and collaborations, especially on projects linked to social and cultural fields.
