    • Website build or redesign

    • Visual identity, signage, print

    • Positioning: who you're for and why

    • Booking pages and listings

  • Building

    • Cabins, shelters, small structures

    • Renovation and interiors

    • Site planning and simple drawings

    • From sketch to somewhere to sleep

  • Facilitation

    • Photo walks: learning to see

    • Circles and reflection sessions

    • One-to-one journey-map conversations

Let’s build something

Stop borrowing other people's words and start sounding like yourself. I listen until I see what's truly yours, then help you say it.

born in Almaty, raised in Belgium, at home on the move

I studied architecture, then spent years building, renovating and designing homes. In January 2017 I left Belgium on a one-way ticket to Bangkok. Since then I've created a home-base in Vancouver, Canada, lived in a co-living community in Melbourne, worked in a restaurant kitchen in Vancouver, built a cabin in Australia, and volunteered with hosts around the world through Workaway and HelpX.

Today I write A Guide to Infinity, a series of essays on freedom, presence and the inner life, and I'm working toward a novel. My camera goes everywhere with me: I look for threshold light, empty space, and people small against big landscapes.
