  • Co-founder / blogger at Shades of Ghent
    Feb 2015 - Jun 2025 · 10 yrs 5 mos

    Shades of Ghent is ontstaan uit de gezamenlijke passie voor blogs tijdens onze opleiding Communicatiemanagement in Gent. Het begon als een spontaan idee in de schoolkantine met 10 vriendinnen. Zoveel jaar later bestaat Shades of Ghent nog steeds en wordt er nog vlijtig geschreven door Louise, Wendy & Hanne. We zijn drie vrouwen uit verschillende hoeken van België die elkaar vonden in het bruisende Gent. Verschillende vrouwen, verschillende meningen, verschillende shades Door de vele (verschillende) interesses die we hebben, vind je op deze blog een waaier aan onderwerpen. We hebben elk onze passies, maar niemand heeft hier vaste rubrieken. Zo kunnen we schrijven over datgene dat ons op dat moment inspireert. We blinken elk in iets verschillend uit en daarom vullen we elkaar zo goed aan. Verschillende vrouwen, verschillende persoonlijkheden en verschillende interesses maken ons tot verschillende shades.
