Hi, I'm
Jens Vandewattijne
Born in Ronse (Belgium) on April fools' day 1989, and live since 2014 in Prague (Czech Republic).
I'm an experienced Graphic Designer with a demonstrated history of working in the marketing and advertising industry, both B2C as B2B. I'm an arts and design professional with a Bachelor's degree focused to both graphical and digital media. Highly skilled in Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe InDesign, as well as video editing tools Adobe Première Pro and Adobe After Effects.
I trained several junior designers and used to manage a small team.
Since October 2018, I work for Hexagon, division Manufacturing Intelligence in Prague, where I care about the daily graphical and digital projects of the EMEA-region. This includes the creation of brochures, flyers, adverts, roll-ups, digital banners, booths, promovideos, webinars and office branding. This is my full-time job.

From July 2022 till July 2023, I worked -in addition- for the shared services of LASCAM (this includes Mark Industries, AYES and Elya as well) where I cared about the overall rebranding and graphic strategy. I created guidelines and corresponding templates for these brands. This was a part-time job, in a single year contract.
Throughout my career, I had the chance to work for (or collaborate with) several global brands, such as:
JDE group (Jacobs, Senseo, Tassimo, Dauwe Egberts, Samar, L'OR, Pickwick)
Mondelez International (Milka)
Procter & Gamble (Mr. Clean)

Sanofi (Sanofi, Zentiva)
Billa (Billa, Clever, Nase Bio)
Intersnack (Pombär)
Staropramen, and others.
