Finding focus and trust in shared creative workspaces. That is the focus of my research. How can we ensure that people do not feel insecure and reserved in a space where everyone can see what you are doing—especially when creativity and vulnerability are so closely linked?

I started from my personal experience and, together with the young people from OverKop Gent and several external parties, went in search of the stumbling blocks of an open creative workspace. Different opinions, experiences, ideas, and possible solutions were shared and bundled. The result is a tool that can be distributed to studios, schools, part time art education schools, Social Art Practices, and anyone else who needs it.
