About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Think green.

ABOUT ME

Native Belgian, quite easy-going, highly nonjudgemental, humour of the dry variety or at least having characteristics thereof (funniness may vary), generally positive mindset, worried about the future of the planet in a positive way, trying to be an 'eco guy' (turning vegatarian is still on the list)...

PHILOSOPHY

Be true to myself.
Think creatively and always see the opportunities no matter what the problem/conditions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

No experience whatsoever! :-)
Really excited to get started, though...

Interests

Ecotechnology, sustainability, all things that make the world more breathable.

Creative methods and tools.

Huge interest in all things related to CAD and rendering!

I should do far more skiing...

  • design
  • skiing
  • engineering

Music, Movies, and Books

There are too many great movies, but...
Favourite movie of the 80s: Brazil (Terry Gilliam @ full throttle!)
Favourite movie of the 90s: Jurassic Park (those friggin dinosaurs!!)
Favourite movie of the 00s: Gwoemul, aka The Host (Brilliant monster movie!)
Favourite movie of 2014 so far: Snowpiercer (Wow!)

Current playlist: HAIM, Janelle Monae, Daft Punk, Arcade Fire, Eefje de Visser, Bruce Springsteen, SX

Best book bought last year: 'Light for Visual Artists: Understanding & Using Light in Art & Design'

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My jaw dropped on the floor when I saw my brother (who has Spina Bifida) skiing downhill in his monoski without assistance for the first time.
I'm genuinely proud that I convinced him to start skiing in 2008.

Teach, Learn, Share

Interested in sharing ideas about sustainable lifestyles and living.

As an industrial designer, I'm willing to share experiences all day long (even pull all-nighters...) about design, engineering, CAD and rendering.
I think I have a few tricks up my sleeve. :-)
