Oriana Ikomo: The love I had
2022
EP design, Tour dates
Oriana wraps her neo-soul and R&B vocal lines in a cloak of jazz harmonies and electronic rhythms that have a soft, comforting texture. The result is a unique sound that accompanies her warm voice. She reached out to me to design the cover for her debut EP The love I had. This project is a personal depiction of what love means for her, in all it's beauty and sorrow. The typographical punning and it's many interchangeable ryhtms are an embodiment of this love.
Lars Duchateau portfolio website

Webdesign + Development
Lars is a Belgian-based artist who uses photography to express how he sees the world around him.
His perspective translates a distinct purity in the image, which becomes his trope.

The website is a display of radical purity in its operation, consequently also in its aesthetics, which allows the image to be the pivotal element at all times.

We teamed up with Created by Mille to create a video campaign where we zoom in on 5 diverse students who's life was impacted by Brussels. We followed them around the city and captured their story.
As the cherry on top of the cake we developed an interactive quiz where people answer questions to discover wich type of "Brusseleir" they are. Once the quiz is completed, you'll recieve a personalised physical map of Brussels with all kinds of hotspots catered to you + a chance to win some merch.

Bonjour Bruxelles, a bientôt bruxelles
2021
Publication
A few years ago, I made a trip to Brussels, a city that I used to visit regularly as a child
but at that time, had not been to for years. All my life I've carried an image of the city
that I have based on my experiences and memories as a toddler. A while later I went back to
rediscover and capture the city through my lens, it turned out to be a trip down memory lane.
This personal project resulted in a visual diary.
