3D Artist in Belgium, bringing your ideas to life
From Industrial Design to 3D Art
I grew up in the Brussels region in the 1960s, where my passion for creation took root. My journey started in industrial design, a fast-growing field in the 1980s. After studying mathematics in secondary school, I specialized in industrial design, eager to merge creativity with technology.
Back then, computers were just emerging. Computer-aided design (CAD) was still rare. My first projects took shape on a drawing board, using pencil and eraser. But when the first Macintosh computers appeared, I was captivated. I quickly embraced digital design and explored early versions of Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign.
Mastering 3D and Industrial Design
Alongside my growing interest in computer graphics, I worked as an in-house industrial designer. My career began at Tupperware Europe in the plastics industry. Later, I specialized in lighting design, working on both decorative and industrial fixtures.
From one design office to another, I developed expertise in plastic injection, extrusion, and CNC sheet metal bending and cutting. My first experience with 3D modeling came in Flanders, using SolidEdge. These years allowed me to collaborate with renowned Belgian designers like Paul Gillis, Maarten Van Severen, and Alain Berteau. I also contributed to ambitious projects such as “Tree Rings” on the Champs-Élysées.
Becoming a 3D Artist in Brussels
In 2017, I made a bold move. I transitioned from industrial design to self-employed technical illustrator. This shift allowed me to merge my industrial expertise with my passion for visual storytelling.
Today, I specialize in 2D and 3D illustrations, as well as 3D animations. My goal is to help businesses communicate their products clearly and effectively.
