Camera on? Ready, set, action! 🎬
Meet Cindy Vandendriessche, aka the Belgian Elle Woods.
This hardworking digital creative is really living “La vie en rose”. So don’t be surprised if she shows up to a meeting wearing a complete pink suit and winning everyone over with her bubbly personality and positivity. However believe me, she might look all cute on the outside, but on the inside she’s a hardcore business woman.
Driven by everything involving social media, fashion and beauty, she knows her way through it all: communication strategies, copywriting, social media management, digital marketing, e-commerce, project coordination, team & office management and business administration.
Cindy is a real organisational and linguistic talent and has a great eye for detail. She knows that perfection doesn’t exists, but she will always aim for it. That is why words such as perseverance and willpower are words that really define her as a person.
At first you might say that she is a bit shy, but give the girl a pen and paper and she will work her magic. And don’t get me wrong, she writes better than she speaks and she speaks no less than 5 languages.
Her talent has literally no borders: from Belgium, to England, Germany and many more countries to come. She’s been able to pass her acquired knowledge on a global spectrum with promising results. For her no distance is too far and no threshold is too high to overcome.
So do you have a problem to solve or you need some extra “glam” in your team?
Then she’s your girl!
My story
I was born and raised in a small town called Eeklo. Growing up I’ve always felt out of place. School was a nightmare, it was full of judgmental children who weren’t afraid to let you know how they felt about you, your looks or your behavior.
However I’ve found my escape in my hobby and I’ve made it my passion. Horse riding was like a breath of fresh air, a place where I could be myself and be free. I’ve learnt to trust, I’ve learnt to welcome and I’ve learnt to let go and so my greatest memories were made in the saddle. I’ve even dragged my sister into the story and guess where we are today. We’re living on our own farm with our own horses and my sister graduated from horse school. How cool is that!
“Sometimes we need to create our own path instead of just following the footsteps that are already laid out for us.”
After I graduated high school, I’ve felt like I needed a fresh start. I needed to get away and really start living my life. So I decided to go for the not so obvious choice and go study in Antwerp (1 hour away from my family and friends). To be completely honest, it was extremely hard. But looking back at it, it has been the best thing I’ve ever did. I’ve met people that literally changed my entire life and my perspectives on the future. I grew and became an independent strong woman who is ready to take on life and I can only be grateful for that.
Anyways putting myself out there has really led me to this point in my life where I am today.
It has made me stronger, wiser and more “me”.
