I am a dedicated creative professional with +10 years experience in digital marketing. My innate curiosity and hands-on attitude made me develop a wide range of skills, from copywriting to graphic design, from web application development to project management. My strongest asset, I believe, must be my talent to merge business objectives with creative delivery. Hence I’m a great supporter of design thinking methodology which believes that true innovation can only emerge when we are able to step outside of our framework of thoughts. Apart from my day job I’m also involved in some startups.

MY PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
To illustrate my experience, I picked 7 projects of which I believe I created a lot of value. Of course, there are
many other milestones in my career. To get a better insight in my experience, I suggest we have a cup of
cappuccino together... (If you don’t like coffee, you can also check my LinkedIn profile.)
1. DESIGN MANAGEMENT
With my company Frametales I support
businesses and organizations to get a
clear view on their identity with regards to
creativity and innovation. Past projects: a
visual thinking workshop for a bank, a
rebranding for a software company.
2. A MOBILE RECRUITMENT SUITE
Already 2 large accounts and not even
launched ! Tagmagic is a mobile
FRAMETALES recruitment software suite and helps
recruiters to create custom mobile
marketing campaigns to source the right
talent for their jobs on-the-move.
3. CREATIVE DIRECTION OF A BOOK
01 Accenture is actively promoting
innovation. Therefore we created a coffee
table book with conversations from 28
thought leaders. I was one of the key
drivers of the project and managed the
creative direction.
4. FS INNOVATION AWARDS
To foster innovation, Accenture also
set-up its Innovation Awards for Financial
Services. Part of the organizing team, I did
the concepting and creative direction for
02 the two editions (2012-2013) of this
Belgium & Luxembourg event.
5. TEDX BRUSSELS CAMPAIGN
As part of its innovation campaign,
Accenture partnered with TEDxBrussels.
An interactive campaign was created to
support the message of “ideas worth
sharing”. The campaign connected a
moleskine notebook with social media.
6. LONDON CALLING STARTUP
03 04 In 2009, the international m-commerce
startup CashCollie was elected finalist in
Seedcamp Berlin, Paris and London. As
co-founder I participated in the
discussions with risk investors and
technologists. A great learning experience!
7. PIONEERING ONLINE DATING
In 2004 I reinvigorated Belgium's first and
largest online dating startup,
Rendez-Vous.be. A rebranding and
restyling was done, next to the strategic
partnerships with various online, print,
radio and tv media. Together with the
team, we succeeded in growing the
amount of unique monthly visitors with
+34% (cim-metriweb statistics of march
2006 compared to january 2004), having
16% more memberships and resulting in
growing business revenues (more than
doubled since 2004). In 2008 the site was
05 06 07 acquired by a big Belgian publishing
company.

MY SKILLS & EXPERTISE
“A day without learning is a lost day.” In my daily professional life, I’m always eager to improve my skills.
Malcolm Gladwell says it takes approximately 10,000 hours of deliberate practice to master a skill. I’m proud
of what I can, but there is still a lot of work to do...
