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
2023
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. Lars achieves this by embracing and emphasizing the conspicuousness of the object/scenario. 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.

Brik: Student in Brussel Campaign
2023
Campaign design + Digital communication + Merch + Webdesign
Brik is a service desk in Brussels that helps students with accommodation, mobility, city life and events. They came to Indiandribble with a goal to convince people that Brussels is the ultimate student city. After research we found that 9 out of 10 people love living in Brussles beacause it allows them to be themselves, this became the premise of our campagne. The identity is build around the narative of fluidity and self exploration through the city. 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.

“The capsule is a sheath or membrane that encloses an organ or other structure, often a cylindrical shape”.

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.
