Feels followed by the looks
Bram Vanhaeren(31)
¡Hola! — Looks Good Feels Good™ is my new digital home since 2020, where I will share all the feels & looks!
I write this during my escape in Malaga, Spain. Riding my bike up the Puerto de Léon over 8 times in solitude. An attempt to get my act together, find new perspectives.
I love good looking things. How a single colour painting can enlighten a space. Photographs from the places I go — without people. Just the environment, so I can envision the people I care about within. I love typography, how it elevates meaning. I love unfinished work. I love running. I used to run with my two brothers since the age of 5. I love watching my plants grow. I love cycling, in solitude or with friends. — I love traditional tattoos with a touch of wackiness. A reminder of the precious time we have and not to take it too seriously.
I have worked for banks (over 7 years), in a pursuit to predict trends & enhance digital customer satisfaction for online banking & beyond as a design lead. Honoured to be part of creating multi-award-winning applications as a lead designer & art director at KBC (2016-2017) & Belfius (2018-2019) - Best banking apps in the world (SIA partners).
Selected as one of the most creative under 25 globally by Adobe in 2014. Today I have the privilege to work with Iconic brands on colourful & energetic projects.
Today, on my 31st birthday I take a leap of faith & be a digital artist. All-day, every day!
