I'VE ATTENDED AN INTERNSHIP IN GENT, BELGIUM, AT BRAM VANDERBEKE STUDIO AND ATELIER FOR THREE MONTHS.
DURING MY TIME THERE, I'VE ASSISTED BRAM THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE DESIGN PROCESS. THIS INCLUDES DESIGNING< span class="glowing-text">SCULPTURES AND FUNCTIONAL OBJECTS, FROM SKETCHING AND PROTOTYPING (USING BOTH MAQUETTES AND SOFTWARES) TO THEIR CRAFTING AND COMMUNICATION.

IN FACT, I'VE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK DIRECTLY WITH MATERIALS SUCH AS ALUMINUM, CONCRETE AND WOOD, GAINING THE FUNDAMENTAL HAND-WORKING TECHNIQUES. THE EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN FURTHER ENHANCED BY THE CHANCE TO INTERACT WITH THE ENTIRE DESIGN CONTEXT, INCLUDING CONCEPT AND EXHIBITIONS DEVELOPMENT, COLLABORATION WITH OTHER ARTISTS, LOGISTICS, AND MEETINGS WITH CLIENTS.
