I’m a creative centipede and an out-of-the-box globe trotter, with an ability to easily relate across cultures. I love diversity, the rich flavour it gives life and how it inspires my designs. Fortunately, being fluent in English, Dutch and French, enables me to work remotely with people and designers worldwide.

Twisions is my creative agency.

The world in which I create, dream and desire. It’s the planet I drift away to, when I daydream.
It’s an inspiring world full of twirls and twinkles, where one and one equals infinite possibilities. 
 
I’m a graphic designer, sometimes illustrator, wannabe photographer, a novice rock star and a part-time night elf. 

Making things look pretty is a philosophy I applied in life since early age, sitting on the floor and making patterns on the wallpaper come to life by magically re-colouring them. Luckily, after being provided more conventional media, my skills expanded from colouring inside the lines to colouring outside the box. I bought my first Toulouse Lautrec poster at the age of 11 and I’ve been considering a career in Mont-Martre ever since. 
 
These days, I find myself combining a daytime job, irresistible freelance opportunities and studying late night hours to get closer to finishing my Art Director degree.
I’m a real INFP stereotype – but in total control ! (Myers-Briggs).

In the Myers-Briggs world of viral one-liners, INFPs are portrayed as daydreaming, fairy-like creatures who doodle away in their notebooks and sip nectar from bluebells. While that sometimes is the case (minus the bluebells), it certainly isn’t the entire picture. We have strong interests in making the world a better place. We are loyal and devoted. We are very hard working and committed to causes that we value highly. Sure, we are born procrastinators and we lack focus at times but we largely make up for that by seeking meaning in everything we do, being very goal-oriented and never losing track of “the big picture”. We possess an incredible sense of wonder about the world and feel great compassion and empathy for others, despite feeling so different from the rest of the population. INFPs, deeply intuitive as we are, have a natural ability to bond with animals (Check out my pro bono work for animal welfare and shelters, if you hadn’t already!). 
Some famous INFP personalities? Audrey Hepburn, JRR Tolkien, Princess Diana and William Shakespeare!

I completed a bachelor in graphic design at Sint-Lucas College of Arts (Belgium) way back in July 2003. Thirteen years ago, I became part of an awesome marketing team at TE-Group. Being an inhouse designer, delivering artwork and web design for all of their brands, I’ve also had the good fortune to work on lots of exciting outsourced projects, including artwork for some huge retailers and famous multinationals. I have designed for retail, health care, a music band, small businesses and non-profit organizations.  

After all these years of experience, an incredibly unhealthy intake of cups of hot chocolate, long hour work schedules and crazy deadlines, I now work tirelessly to ensure that you receive the quality I advertise on my behalf.

THE THINGS I LOVE.

TRAVELING
PLAYING PIANO
NOODLES
HEAVY METAL
ANIMALS
BAKING/COOKING
CARAMEL LATTE
GAMING
BINGING FLIX

Typically, most creative people are right-brained, aesthetically oriented creative types. An undeniable asset in the field of design, but however very limiting because their artwork might not hit pay dirt with non-creative types which make up a large portion in the business world. I have a different background, I studied economics and languages before venturing into university to pick up my degree in art. I established business as well as copywriting skills, resulting in an approach that does not lack intuitive business mindset. This competitive edge allows me to bring both an aesthetic focus as well as a practical mindset that adds value to the service.

Heart and brain, incessant imagination yet rigorous logic, wild at heart but meticulously punctual.

When it comes to ‘cross-pollination’ of design disciplines, I am passionate and probably slightly neurotically obsessed by the belief that creativity, media and technology must live in perfect harmony. I’ve personally been invested in banning the “Jack of all trades, master of none”-train of thought for many years. We can, legitimately, be masters of all.
I bring different disciplines together into a total solution to solve all your business challenges. Yup, I dip my finger in every pie and I’m not ashamed of that! 
Which also makes me a solid choice for your inhouse designer position. Whatever you need, I’m on it.
