Internship as web developer/designer. Afterwards I was asked to stay on for another month. Must have made a good impression. References are available on request.
Main project: a complete redesign of the website of Gazet van Antwerpen (gva.be), followed by a similar restyling of Het Belang van Limburg (hvbl.be). I also created and/or redesigned thirty-something weblogs for the company.
Side projects: setting up online marketing campaigns while working together with multiple people from different departments. Loads of personal responsibility. I loved it.
