Describe yourself, your background and what you do today.

I was born in France and moved to Brussels with my mom when I was six. She used to be a dance teacher, so I grew up in an artistic environment, which probably lead me to go to art school and study interior design. Then I moved to Barcelona for three years, worked in nightlife and started my first company. When I came back to Brussels, I started a booking agency with friends, but later quit for H&M where I was in charge of visual merchandising. Afterwards, I worked as a chef for two years until I opened my first shop with my friend Nico Volckrick: that’s when Reservoir was born. Today, together with my new partner Boris, we expanded our brand and Reservoir-Store now counts four shops: Man., Woman., 313. and The Lab., as well as our brand new webstore.

How has Brussels shaped you as an individual as well as your professional activities?

I see Brussels as a playground and, after a few travels, I noticed that Brussels was missing a lot of concepts that you could find in any other capital cities. My motto is: “Take action, create, innovate”.
