5 Questions with art director & graphic designer Fran Rodríguez

I studied to be a graphic designer and I never got to finish the degree. I am what you call a self-taught designer, I’ve learned most of what I know in on my own. I’ve always been interested in art, and at the same moment when I was falling in an existential crisis, I discovered graphic design by chance. It saved my life.

5 Questions with graphic & UI/UX designer Pieter De Kegel

I was born in 1978 in Aalst, a town between Ghent and Brussels. Grew up in a small village with not a lot to do. I started going to the local roller rink when I was about 9 years old and started skateboarding when I was 10. From then on until I was about 21 skateboarding was pretty much the only thing that mattered to me 24/7. Continue reading 5 Questions with graphic & UI/UX designer Pieter De Kegel

5 Questions with graphic designer Laura Broux

I grew up in Antwerp, in a creative family which has influenced me a lot. My father is a professional guitarist and I have been constantly surrounded by the sound of classical music during my youth. That is why my base is probably music, hearing my father play every day I learned that music is about discipline, analysis, emotion and a partly romance.

5 Questions with graphic designer Rik Staesens

Long story short… I was born and raised in Bruges. My childhood dreams revolved around becoming the next Robert Van de Walle or the next Jean-Pierre Papin. Destined for world domination! None of that happened. School is a bit of a blur now but I do remember it didn’t prepare me for world domination either. Started university, hated it and decided to travel instead.

5 Questions with graphic designer Matthias De Vylder

Around 14, I decided to leave the main school of the town I grew up in to go study woodworking in the city nearby.

I grew up in Tel-Aviv and from a young age, I was really into music & computers. but when I was 13-14 years old, besides staring at death metal album covers and lettering, I was more into playing football than drawing or painting.

5 Questions with brand & UX designer Martijn Brackman

When I was around 9 I started going to art school on Saturdays. Most of the time we were fooling around with charcoal, oil pastels, paint or clay. I remember it being a lot of fun. In college, the bored and rebellious teenager in me quit and from then on I didn’t do much but doodling around in my school books and ColorDRAW. Continue reading 5 Questions with brand & UX designer Martijn Brackman

5 Questions with graphic & brand designer Davy Dooms

I’m a freelance graphic designer based in Antwerp, but it all started at a young age. Since I was a 10-year-old kid, I drove every weekend with my BMX bike to the weekend art classes. It was like nothing could stop me from drawing, in those days back in the early eighties I was creatively influenced. At 15, I got pretty bored while studying economics, no surprises there. That’s the moment my parents freaked out because I wanted to go to art school. And I was so happy they agreed after endless talks. Continue reading 5 Questions with graphic & brand designer Davy Dooms
