At home with a visual artist & illustrator in Bruxelles

I am a visual artist and illustrator based in Brussels, where I create colorful designs inspired by food, flowers, interiors, and the small moments that bring people together. Growing up in sunny Perth, Western Australia, gave me a very optimistic approach to color. As a result, colorful and vibrant hues naturally find their way into almost everything I create.

Our home is colorful, playful, and filled with things we truly love. We wanted to create a home that feels creative and inspiring, while also being calm enough to completely switch off and relax.

To be honest, everywhere. I find inspiration for colors in food, markets, travel, interiors, nature, and all the little details I come across throughout the day.

I first discovered VETRO lamps on Pinterest a few years ago, and my first thought was: I had to own one someday. There was something about them that immediately caught my attention.

I believe that creating a home is less about following a specific interior style and more about gradually finding and surrounding yourself with things that speak to you. The most authentic homes are created over time—filled with objects that reflect your personality, memories, and experiences.

To me, VETRO lamps are exactly that kind of element. They are not just part of the decor in our home—they are carefully selected pieces that I truly cherish. They are the sort of things you know you'll want to bring with you, no matter where life takes you, and that become part of the homes you build along the way.

Lighting has a huge impact on how a room is perceived. Especially in the evening, warm light makes colors appear deeper and creates a softer, more inviting atmosphere.
