I’m a (Belgian/English) freelance conceptual Art Director with a strong interactive background.  I  have been working as an Art Director for A-list clients in various advertising agencies (Ogilvy, These Days and Boondoggle) since 2004.

During the years I’ve worked above, below and online.  Mainly due to my time at These Days and Boondoggle (ex I-Merge) I have developed a lot of digital conceptual and strategic experience and love creating interactive concepts.  The internet is a huge playground and I feel we have only started to scratch the surface: blogs, social networks, wiki’s, IM, mobile, mash-ups, … the possibilities to connect with people are virtually endless.

Selected clients include: Ford, Coca-Cola company, bmi, Volvo, Fnac, Nokia, Heineken Ireland, Dreamland, Mobistar, Stimorol, …

Eventhough I have a lot of experience working for big clients, as a freelancer I’m quite happy to take on both big and small projects: above the line, below the line, interactive, cross-media, strategic, …  If you would like to talk about a project or just want to get in touch, please email me or give me a call (+32486999311) begin_of_the_skype_highlighting              (+32486999311)      end_of_the_skype_highlighting.
