Urbanist&Researcher
ABOUT ME
Hello! I'm an urbanist and researcher with a diverse range of interests, based in Belgium and Germany. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work on various types of projects not only in urbanism, urban planning, design, and research, but also in organizing conferences, workshops, and exhibitions. These experiences have allowed me to grow and establish myself in a multidisciplinary field.
