me
I'm Doriane. I grew up in Belgium and live in Bruxelles. I have an infinite love for the idea of designing with words and language. I like to think about systems and automatised processes as sensible mediums. I try to question tools by looking on what they make us do, as much as what they do.
In 2021 I joined Open Source Publishing, where i make websites & conversations.
Since 2023, I coordinate an artistic research on CSS
and the crafts of designing with language, called Declarations.
I deeply and sincerly love cooking, and walking (both alone or with other people). I've a feral desire to be more than one.

Declarations
Declarations is an ongoing artistic research into the poetic materiality of the CSS web-standard. Declarations is a love letter to the crafts of designing with language.
