Webdesign

I led the rebranding of WhizzKids, creating a new mascot, "To-di," a cute little robot that embodies the playful and educational spirit of the organization. I also developed a vibrant logo and introduced a new color palette that reads as both playful and digital, enhancing the brand's appeal to young learners and their parents. Additionally, I designed a modern, user-friendly website that aligned with the new brand identity. Unfortunately, due to budget constraints, the website couldn't be launched, but the rebranding was successfully implemented, giving WhizzKids a refreshed and engaging visual presence.

As a web designer, I created a vibrant and visually appealing website design for StripBib, an online comic strip platform.

Collaborating closely with the client, I am thrilled to have contributed to a website that showcases comic strips in a dynamic and engaging way. (the new website is going live soon)

Designing the wiki-website for BIFFF, the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival, was an exciting and immersive project that required capturing the unique atmosphere of the festival. I created a visually appealing design with dark tones and contrasting pops of color, organized festival information in a user-friendly way, showcased films and guests with custom graphics and interactive elements. The website was made responsive, accessible, and aligned with the festival's vision through close collaboration with the organizers. I am proud to have contributed to a website that represents the essence of BIFFF and provides an engaging experience for film enthusiasts.

Designing the website for theater maker Nick De Roo was an exciting project that involved capturing his unique artistic vision. Using a minimalist and contemporary design approach, the website showcased Nick De Roo's work through visually striking images, videos, and interactive elements. I focused on creating an intuitive user experience with easy navigation, clear information about his productions and performances, and a clean layout that reflected his artistic style. Collaborating closely with Nick De Roo, the website effectively communicates his creative talents and engages visitors with his theatrical works.

Designing the website for Tales and Legends was a thrilling project that involved bringing the world of tabletop role-playing games to life. I created a visually immersive design that incorporated elements of fantasy, adventure, and storytelling. I ensured that the website was user-friendly, with clear navigation, detailed information about services offered, and easy to find contact info for hiring the D&D master. Collaborating closely with the client, I am delighted to have created a website that captures the essence of Dungeons and Dragons and showcases the unique services offered by Tales and Legends.

Designing the website layout for CronosKids was a comprehensive and dynamic project that aimed to provide parents with a one-stop platform to explore all that Cronos has to offer for their children. I created a visually appealing and intuitive layout that incorporated various sections for childcare, gaming festivals, and summer camps. Each section was carefully designed with a user-friendly interface, clear information, and engaging visuals that conveyed the unique offerings of Cronos for kids. I worked closely with the Cronos team to ensure that the website met their goals and effectively communicated their services to parents. The resulting website layout is a valuable resource for parents seeking information and opportunities for their children through CronosKids.
