I received my license in product development from the Antwerp institute of Architecture and Design,Belgium,and pursued subsequent design training in California.Shortly after that he received a distinction from the King Boudewijn foundation for my work. I designed consumer products and furniture for internationally renewed companies and authored several patents for my award wining designs. Operating somewhat outside the Belgian design scene, I have managed to win numerous design awards in Germany, France, Japan and the US. My work has been published on numerous occasions.
