gemak! festival
For gemak! festival, I created a cohesive visual identity spanning digital, motion, print and physical applications. The project centered on a bold festival poster with a bitmap-inspired visual style and the main gemak! logo, which I also designed. The identity extended to motion, social media posts and videos, print materials, a physical logo, and a visual update of the gemak! Collective website.

Chick'O Peas
Chick'O Peas is all about bringing the flavours of the Middle East to the table. For the brand's digital experience, I designed and developed a responsive website in Odoo, turning the existing brand identity into an engaging online experience. The website brings together the story of Nasser Chaal — aka The Hummus Guy — the full range of dips, recipes and inspiration, with interactive elements and a custom store locator to help visitors find their nearest Chick'O Peas. The result is a warm, playful and distinctly Middle Eastern website that feels as good as the food behind it.

OpperDash
OpperDash is a Leuven-based food truck and catering company led by chef Elias Nys. It serves nutritious, chef-driven dishes with Mediterranean influences, made with fresh, seasonal ingredients, for business lunches, team events and staff parties, straight from the food truck or as a buffet on location. I created the full visual identity and translated it across every part of the brand: the food truck, packaging, menus, printed materials, merch and digital content. I also designed and developed the OpperDash website, a bold and vibrant digital experience that matches the flavour of the food. From stickers and menu boards to posters, social content and branded touchpoints, every element was designed to feel like part of the same visual world.

Chora x gemak! x STUK: a Love Triangle
For this sold-out club night at STUK – House for Dance, Image & Sound, Marte Forier and I teamed up to create a 2-style-combining and loving visual world. The result? A graphic identity full of contrast — soft and sharp, warm and wired — blending the vibes of both collectives into one cohesive (and cute) story of connection. From posters to digital social media posts, we built a good looking visual system that celebrated love in all its shapes, while staying true to the vibrant energy of both collectives. A true collaboration, full of creative ping-pong, late-night edits, and finding a shared vision.

flow.
flow., or my own name backwards. I created a brand identity for myself as a school assignment in 2023. This project was my first deep dive into building a full-scale brand identity from the ground up. It was more than just a design task; it was about translating who I am into a visual and conceptual language. As a dynamic, trend-aware creative, I wanted my brand to reflect my adaptability and fresh perspective. Like a river carving its own path, flow. represents the fluid energy I bring to every project. Whether I’m designing in 3D or experimenting with motion and visuals, I aim to blend elements seamlessly, always keeping things current and engaging.

Clubnacht met gemak! - vol. 1
For gemak! collective’s very first event in 2023, I designed a bold and eclectic visual identity that set the tone for who we are. The branding is a direct reflection of our core values: immersion, kindness, and self-cultivation. Each shape and color was carefully chosen to represent different facets of the gemak! experience – from moments of calm and connection to the liberating, playful chaos we embrace. It wasn’t just visual decoration – it was a conversation starter, a mood-setter, and a statement. The final result was intentionally loud, layered, and full of energy – a little chaotic, maybe even too much, but unmistakably us. This project marked the beginning of our visual language and laid the foundation for the collective’s identity moving forward.

Pearl Vintage Store
For Pearl Vintage Store’s brand & visual identity, I created a vibrant Y2K-inspired identity that reflected everything the brand stands for – accessibility, individuality, and bold self-expression. As a co-founder and the in-house multimedia designer, I was responsible for shaping the entire visual universe of Pearl – from the stickers on our orders to the TikToks that reached thousands. The look was unapologetically young and playful, grounded in 3D design and abstract shapes that captured the spirit of a generation unafraid to stand out. Every asset – from label prints and reels to scripted video content – was created with one goal in mind: to make sustainable fashion feel accessible, personal, and fun. Pearl wasn’t just another vintage store. It was a movement. And this identity wasn’t just aesthetic – it was an invitation. An invitation to explore who you are through style. To embrace difference. To wear your values. Through every post, print, and pixel, we built something that felt like more than a brand – we built a vibe, a community, and a statement.

Clubnacht met gemak! - vol. 2
For gemak! collective’s second clubnight in 2023, I introduced a metallic and silver theme — reflecting a colder, sharper energy. This edition marked the first time we incorporated 3D elements into gemak!’s visual identity, exploring texture, depth, and motion in a more futuristic and tactile way. The branding pushed the collective’s visual world forward: still bold and playful, but with a new sleekness — more refined, a bit alien, and unapologetically shiny. From glistening assets to chrome typography, every detail was designed to feel immersive, synthetic, and strangely intimate. The result? A visual identity that evolved gemak!’s core while opening space for experimentation and surprise.

His style? Accessible, bold, experimental, with a professional finish.
