I believe that the result of the synergy between buildings, places and users is not only financial; it also means happiness. This belief is leading when I work at the sustainable development of powerful buildings and places. Powerful buildings and places respond to the spatial, economical, social and energetic needs of their users, remaining, as a result, attractive to investments that keep them sustainable in the long term. After receiving my master title at the Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands I continued a postdoctoral study Management of the European Metropolitan Region at the Erasmus University Rotterdam. I studied a semester at the Mississippi State University in the United States, did my practical training in the capital of Slovakia Bratislava, ran an après-ski bar in France and worked as a tour guide in different countries. I then worked as an urban designer at a consultancy company named RBOI and continued at the municipality of Zwijndrecht. I recently worked as an area development consultant at ICS adviseurs. In my work I deal with urban development processes and I am appreciated for my enthusiasm, open mind and creativity. I link the different fields, scales and time periods and therefore the projects are successful at the long and short term. These are the values I would like to use to make your project successful.
