Hanne Van Gils

Hanne studied architecture and then obtained a master's degree in Human Settlements. At OSAR, she gained experience as a designer at building and city scale. She got to grips with the Flemish context as an area development officer at Department of the Environment. The communications agency DIFT, in turn, was an introduction to words like USPs, automation, and customer journeys. At UGent, she worked on the European project Open Heritage where her experience in city-making, regional development, architecture and civic initiatives came together. Besides her work as a researcher, she works as an illustrator on various projects that have the ambition to make complexity more understandable. Layered, clear and approachable, that is the ambition. Within Endeavour, she often works on repurposing, research projects, neighbourhood development plans and play visions.
