5 Questions with graphic & brand designer Davy Dooms

I’m a freelance graphic designer based in Antwerp, but it all started at a young age. Since I was a 10-year-old kid, I drove every weekend with my BMX bike to the weekend art classes. It was like nothing could stop me from drawing, in those days back in the early eighties I was creatively influenced. At 15, I got pretty bored while studying economics, no surprises there. That’s the moment my parents freaked out because I wanted to go to art school. And I was so happy they agreed after endless talks.
