In 2008 she c-founded together with Antony Hudek publishing company Occasional Papers, a non-profit publisher of affordable books devoted to the histories of art and design. She has since co-edited four of its titles: The Master Builder: Talking with Ken Briggs (with Fraser Muggeridge), The Form of the Book Book (with Fraser Muggeridge) en Graphic Design: History in the Writing (1983-2011) (with Catherine de Smet) and Off the Grid: Histories of Belgian Graphic Design.

Off the Grid
During her PhD studies at KASK & Conservatorium (HOGENT – Howest), she curated the exhibition Off the Grid at Design Museum Gent. In this exhibition, she explored the principles of graphic design in Belgium in the 1960s and 1970s, a history that has received little attention to date. The exhibition presented print work, logo objects, book objects and posters – many never before exhibited – by designers such as Paul Ibou, Corneille Hannoset, Boudewijn Delaere, Sofie Alouf, Rob Buytaert, Herman Lampaert and Jeanine Behaeghel.
