I work as an independent business developer for growth companies. Not as a consultant with a framework, but as someone who picks up the phone and knows who answers. My network spans architecture, real estate, hospitality, the arts, and European institutions — built over two decades of showing up, delivering, and never burning a bridge. If your company is ready to grow and needs someone who understands both the creative and commercial sides of that equation, that's exactly where I work best.

That network didn't come from nowhere. I trained as an architect and spent twenty years designing homes, offices and interiors for clients across Brussels and beyond. That work taught me something more valuable than a portfolio: how to listen before I draw, how to find what someone needs before they can name it, and how to build things that last. Those are the same skills I bring to every business conversation.

Alongside the development work, I run two projects that are entirely my own. Donck.studio is where I put my creative practice — events, concepts, cultural programming and brand work. Donck.gallery is a curated space for contemporary art and design objects, with a quiet secondary market for discerning collectors. Both are expressions of the same point of view I bring to client work: that the creative and commercial are never really separate.
