About me

I'm a final-year Business Management student majoring in Marketing, with a minor in Digital Brand and Campaign Management, curious about why people, brands and ideas work the way they do. I'm particularly interested in human behaviour and the way culture, psychology and communication shape how we perceive things.

I like bringing different pieces together and seeing how they can work as a whole. I enjoy exploring consumer insights, developing strategies, building brands and shaping stories through visual communication. I pay close attention to the details that are easy to overlook because sometimes they are what make something feel considered. For me, good marketing is about making an idea clear, meaningful and easy to connect with.

When I'm not working on my next project, I'm probably listening to music, exploring a new city or trying a new coffee place. I like keeping life interesting and finding inspiration in everything I come across.

This portfolio is a small collection of what I've been learning and building throughout my studies.

Digital Marketing

Aguavida — Product Launch

For this Digital Marketing project, I developed a 12-month digital content strategy for Aguavida, a fictional brand built around a foldable smart water bottle that helps users drink more water by tracking intake, sending reminders and rewarding consistency with redeemable points for wellness products. Using consumer insights and a clearly defined buyer persona to guide the content direction, I researched relevant trends, holidays and cultural moments throughout the year, evaluating how they could be connected to the brand and tailored to its target audience. I then translated these findings into a structured cross-channel content plan and developed a one-week campaign with creative assets to demonstrate the strategy in practice.

Coca-Cola Spark Program

For this assignment, we responded to a brief from The Coca-Cola Company to investigate why Gen Z is going out less frequently and why Coca-Cola is not their preferred choice when they do. Based on our research, we developed the 'Spark' Program, a B2C and B2B loyalty activation designed to make choosing Coca-Cola more rewarding for consumers while also giving HORECA partners an incentive to participate. The project was selected as the winning project.

Research findings: 67 respondents, 64% of Gen Z go out weekly

The Idea

The 'Spark' Program turns Coca-Cola purchases into experiences. As a loyalty program, it offers a range of rewards throughout the journey, from smaller rewards to a chance to win the main prize: an all-inclusive Coca-Cola festival journey from Belgium to Tomorrowland and onwards to Sziget in Budapest aboard a Coca-Cola-branded train.

B2C — The Consumer 'Win'
B2B — The Partner 'Win'

Consumers purchase Coca-Cola, scan a QR code, collect Sparks and exchange them for rewards.

HORECA partners are encouraged to participate through their own incentive: top-performing venues can win an exclusive Coca-Cola-sponsored event with local DJs, designed to drive traffic and bring new customers to their venue, while winning staff earn a place on the festival journey.

Editorial Design

Magazine Spread

For this assignment, I designed a magazine spread around a fictional Netflix drink concept, applying editorial layout principles to structure headlines, body copy, imagery and pull quotes across a double-page spread. The focus was on learning how to organise text and visual elements within a magazine-style layout, balancing hierarchy, alignment and grid structure to guide the reader's eye across the page.

Event Management

Tote & Taste

Tote & Taste was a creative social event combining a tote bag painting workshop with traditional food. Developed as part of our Project Management course, the project took us from the initial concept through planning and preparation to the final workshop.

Visual Communication

Poster Design

For this assignment, I designed promotional posters for a fictional Netflix drink concept. I developed a futuristic, cinematic theme around the idea of escaping reality and translated the concept into a cohesive visual direction through imagery, typography and composition.

The design was created in both vertical and horizontal formats, requiring me to adapt the composition and placement of visual elements while maintaining the same concept and overall visual identity across both versions.
