Having graduated in Graphic Design in Belgium and Arts Management in the Netherlands, I came to London in the mid 1990′s.

Ever since then I have worked with 100′s of small creative and social enterprises in business development, training, advice and marketing.

I have worked at the Crafts Council, Design Nation/New Designers in Business, product design Studio Levien, Cultural Industries Development Agency (CIDA) in East London, and creative investment and high growth development consultancy Pembridge Partners.

In 2011 I took over The Design Trust, a social enterprise that helps people to start, run and grow their own design or craft business. We run an Online Business School & Shop, a Business Club, as well as business and marketing blogs, and listings with selected business training and opportunities.

“Being able to work intensively and grow as part of a wider creative business group with so much varied support is a great opportunity. I coached various designers in the last year, and they all were very talented and driven people, who got so much out of this programme.”
