Claire Vanderhaeghen – alias The hedgehog – was born on a clear day in December (temperature 3°C – 39,2° F, light easterly winds, humidity 88%), grew up in a loving environment, received an excellent education and transformed her talents into a promising career.
2001 Master Grafische- en reclamevormgeving St. Lucas Antwerpen
2004 Master Filmstudies en Beeldcultuur Universiteit Antwerpen

Her language skills are what they need to be: her mother tongue is Dutch, her English is fluent and she can convincingly present creative proposals in French. If necessary, she does remarkable things with her basic knowledge in Spanish, Italian and German. So also linguistically, she has a decent portfolio.
