Name: Brigitte Vanzonhoven

I'm a Graphic designer/visual communication artist and shoe maniac from Belgium. Before getting my degree in Graphic Design I studied Art. I always act with passion, whatever I do. Baking a cake or working on a project for a company. I’m a full of laughter happy designer. I have lots of hobby's. Sport, dancing, art, fashion, travel, reading, movies,...
I like to collect things. Art, pictures, statues, dresses,....

How do I work?
I start off from a clear briefing.
I do research for each project whether it’s large or small. It’s all the same to me.
Each assignment has its own story.
I’m guided by information received from my clients and that's my starting point because, at the end of the day, they know their own product best.
I eat healthy, take exercise and have regular breaks. After all, I’m not a robot.
I’m constantly updating my design techniques. This is my way of renewing and improving my work.
I believe that a designer can learn every day and experimenting leads to new interesting ways of designing and thinking. Somebody who experiment is always a winner to me!


Objective:
Satisfied clients,
Perfect results in my work and as much pleasure as possible during the design process.

Love movies and I'm addicted to magazines, books and shoes.

Picasso, Modigliani, Tony Cragg, Tamara De Lempicka, Matisse, Basquiat, Panamarenko, Chagall, Monet, Frida Kahlo, Gilbert & George, Arcimboldo, Pollock, Miro, Warhol, Calder,...and many more

List of shoes
I don’t even know where to begin...

A healthy life
I sport every day because sport erase the daily tensions in work. It keeps me in balance and I get a nice set of abs and legs on top of it. I swim, jog and train in the gym. I used to play tennis, skate on ice and practiced Martial arts and latin dance a while ago.

My mind and my heart
The thing I love the most is designing. Because it’s my way to share my mind with the world.
I admire people who act with their hearts in life and put someone else in the first place. I love children, don’t have them myself but the innocent way they look at the world is so special and I advice strongly to adults to go back to that place sometimes, in order to reset their serious nature. It’s all about finding a good balance in life on every level.
