About
I'm a Graphic Designer focusing on digital media, especially web platforms. I'm the co-founder of the web design studio F45. I'm working with others to ask questions, define approaches and execute solutions comprising information structures, identity & communication, user experience & interface design.
Work Experience
F451 is a studio for custom-made websites specialising in design, programming and consultancy. It was founded by Quentin Creuzet and myself in 2015, after meeting during our studies, and has grown steadily since. Together, we are convinced that each content/project needs an adapted structure, so we build every website from scratch.
I’m a guest tutor and teacher, delivering talks, lessons, and workshops on digital and web culture. My workshops and classes explore creative approaches to responsive design, storytelling with URLs, the concept of caring is sharing with Apis, Ethical Guidelines for the World Wide Web...

I'm continually developing independent research projects through writing, web experiments, and self-initiated work. My main interest lies in finding ways to deconstruct and analyse what lies behind seamless web interfaces, aiming to make the internet a bit more diverse
OtherNetwork is a new type of cultural institution that connects independent art spaces worldwide. At its core are hundreds of projects that are strongly rooted in their local context, responding to the needs of artists directly. The online platform visualises many of the creative collaborations happening organically between artists, curators and cultural producers worldwide that make this possible.

Writing
I share what it means to build a project and a website from scratch—slowly and thoughtfully— against the grain of a fast-moving digital environment. It’s about process, collaboration, and finding strength in taking our time.
My essay Reflections was published in the Graduation Book 2019, Design Academy Eindhove. It explores how interface transparency shapes user experience, emphasizing the need for awareness of underlying systems in digital interactions.
Speaking
In four years, we have collected 11,293 emails, 754GB of files on a hard drive, 172 invoices, and 19,962 contributions on GitHub. During our talk "Control Center," we will reflect on the traces left behind by our design and programming practice, examining these archives and files to uncover insights from specific details to broader themes.
