Originally from Leuven, Martine has lived, studied and worked in vibrant cities, i.e. Australia, Philippines and the United Kingdom. She believes all these cultural experiences that she has had thus far, of living in multiple countries and travelling 30+ countries, are all intertwined and impact on how she approaches a creative project.
Martine is a registered architect in Australia (VIC), Belgium and the United Kingdom.
