LBi OER
Art Director
LBi OER was an agency for brands with digital ambitions. Brands looking for an agency with a different approach to communication. Not out of habit, but curiosity: toward people and their habits, toward brands and their interests, toward technology and all the possibilities it has to offer.

Merged with LBi Lostboys in 2009.

Natuurhulpcentrum vzw
Head of the Primate department
The 'Natuurhulpcentrum' is a wildlife rescue centre for wounded and sick wild animals.

Their focus is mainly on local wildlife, but over time they are gaining more and more experience with exotic wildlife. (Monkeys, chimps, lions, tigers, reptiles, snakes, bears,...)

8 years long, I volunteered in the centre. Then I worked 2 years in full time service.
I was head of the primate department, where I took care of a 30 y/o female chimp named Nakima.

Besides I was part of the rescue team. Being a member of this team involved rescue operations on water or ice, catching wounded, sick or escaped wildlife (such as deers, wolves and many more) and endless other bizarre situations... :)
