About me
"The act of discovery comes from the freedom to fail" - Paula Scher.
The story of my (short) life... After five years of studying translation in Brussels, a field which I never felt at home in, I finally embraced my freedom to fail, left translation behind and began an entirely new career path.
I never saw myself becoming a graphic designer, and yet it is probably the most gratifying choice I have ever made in my life.
I discovered a new passion, part of which is the use of typography. The interaction between text and images or even the simple yet effective impact of perfectly laid out text on blank canvas is a real source of inspiration for me.
So maybe I just got lucky with the whole 'career change' thing. But who cares
