A BELGIAN

... from the flemish part, if you'd wonder. After having spent hours memorizing Latin words and dissecting historiography by Tacitus i felt the urge to explore a more practical field of study. I found it in the Master Studies of Graphic Design at St-Lucas, Ghent. Followed by an extra (depressing) 9 months-long PhP course, i eventually ended up being a graphic designer at the studio of a big flemish publisher.
Two years later the time for a new perspective had come. PZI was a relevant choice.
