Hi! I’m Vincent, a 30 year old father of 1 son (with a second one on the way) living in Zoersel. In my free time I like playing football and dabbling around in Wordpress and Illustrator. I get a lot of energy from all things digital and have a broad interest in branding and graphic design.

In my professional life I like to have a good portion of responsibility and am more than happy to work on a wide variety of creative projects and strategic challenges!
