    Next to the amazing user experience it creates a lot of extra sales for Henkel and a huge impact on the environment. No water will be needed along the whole value chain of hair care, only 20% of transport is needed and the brush provides its own energy. The Schwarzkopf-brush-concept was created in coöperation with Nikki Jacobs.

    As a dissertation for Product Development I chose to make Belgian top chocolates available abroad. Chocolatiers with the possibility to fill your ballotin are available on every corner in Belgium. Nothing is less true abroad. Low capacity and traditional production methods of top chocolatiers in Belgium do not allow them to open shops in other countries.

    As a dissertation for Product Development I chose to make Belgian top chocolates available abroad. Chocolatiers with the possibility to fill your ballotin are available on every corner in Belgium. Nothing is less true abroad. Low capacity and traditional production methods of top chocolatiers in Belgium do not allow them to open shops in other countries.

    'Pralinez-Vous?' provides the service to fulfill this need. Via a web shop strongly concentrated on user experience pralines can be ordered. To lower the cost of transport Bpost is used over courier services. This decision brought a lot of restrictions and requirements to the packaging. Without extra cooling and a thickness of only 30mm the packaging protected the pralines against heat, contamination, water and shocks.

    The organisation of Belgian packaging professionals 'packaging people' rewarded 'Pralinez-Vous?' for it's outstanding and complete design.

    leader

    From my 6 years old and for 11 years long, I enjoyed the leadership of a lot of young adolescents. When I reached the age of 17, I never doubted to give the same for the younger ones and went for it. The choice to animate and to be responsible for kids of 9-11 years old (welpen) was well grounded. They understand all games and can be extremely motivated to really live their self out in nature. Patience, fun, leadership and responsibility have always been the main drivers for me. After 3 years…

    From my 6 years old and for 11 years long, I enjoyed the leadership of a lot of young adolescents. When I reached the age of 17, I never doubted to give the same for the younger ones and went for it. The choice to animate and to be responsible for kids of 9-11 years old (welpen) was well grounded. They understand all games and can be extremely motivated to really live their self out in nature. Patience, fun, leadership and responsibility have always been the main drivers for me. After 3 years I decided to go for the oldest group of youngsters (15-17 years old, verkenners). The whole year was concentrated on a 3-week lasting camp abroad during summer, which I organized together with some other leaders. The concept is to volunteer for the first 10 days, followed by a 5-days hike and a city trip to finish. The first year we went to Poland with a 5-days kayak trip and an end in Warsaw. The second year we started in Lourdes and continued in the Pyrenees and San Sebastian (Spain). A tight budget and always changing schedules forced me to be extremely flexible and to come up with creative solutions for unexpected situations.

    As a snowboard instructor I managed to learn the right technique to youthful snowboarders during the day. At night my responsibility changed to animation and keeping these guys 'under control'.
