Welcome to my blog. My name is Nicolas Van Leekwijck. I’m an interactive designer currently employed at this funky company called “gonzales“. I design for the web, print and video.

Some namedropping: Fanta, Pioneer, Danone, Mango (es), Ovam, MTV, Samsung, S.M.A.K., De Lijn, bPost, Nixon, Thomas Cook, Vlaamse overheid …
