Who is (y)our Website Manager?

I’m Franky, a 30 years old and I’m the website manager of i.materialise. I wireframe, do some graphical design, occasionally write requirements for our developers, find interesting topics to blog about, take photos of all the nice things you design, make videos…and more. I love to talk about 3D printing, it’s fascinating and everyone deserves to know it exists.

Before joining Materialise, I worked as an editor for a video post-production company in Brussels. After a few years of TV shows, commercials and music videos, I decided to make a career switch. Thus I traded video editing for the exciting world of 3D printing. I barely knew what it was, but it sounded like the coolest thing in the world. Actually, it still does.

I consider myself not an expert at something but someone who knows a little bit about everything. I have college degrees in online journalism, multimedia and audiovisual communication.

When I’m not at work, I’m probably in the gym doing strength and condition training or I’m running, swimming, fighting… I’m a huge mixed martial arts fan and I have been training martial arts for years. I have a black belt in judo and a few years of experience in Savate and Capoeira.

I love travelling, watching movies, my iPod (never leave home without it), street art, design, photography, Japanese culture and I speak Brazilian Portuguese. There’s a lot more so I decided to make a mood board with some things I love.
