About @gillesv and his face

Gilles, Yesterday

Born in Ghent in the year of our lord 1985, Gilles Vandenoostende is anything but your common or garden webdesigner. Quick, efficient and armed with a keen eye for detail, he eats, breathes and defecates webdesign.

Hired by Atmosphere|BBDO straight out of school in 2006, Gilles was dropped head-first into the fast-moving world of online marketing. Specializing in Flash development at first, he quickly expanded his skills in design, HTML/CSS, Flex, video-editing and the occasional bit of 3D modelling.

Atmosphere may be gone, having merged with Proximity|BBDO in 2007, but Gilles is still there, at the forefront of the next innovative (and occasionally award-winning) campaign.

Gilles is also trying his darndest to keep up with blogging, social media and other vacuous wastes of time that people in this industry are inexplicably fond of.

(He is also prone to bouts of pretentiousness, but only when forced to write about himself in the third person)
