Intern

I'm a software engineer with a strong background in the industry. Over the past 7 years, I have had the opportunity to work on a wide range of software development projects in different roles, from intern to development team leader. My experience has given me a diverse set of skills and knowledge in the field, and I have a proven track record of delivering high-quality software on time.

Recently, I decided to step down from my position as a development team leader to pursue a new opportunity. I am now the owner and operator of a small company focused on developing mobile apps. I am excited to take on this new challenge and to have the freedom to explore my ideas and projects.

Founder (acquired)

When I was 11, I stepped into the world of entrepreneurship. 

Back then, I wanted my parents to stop smoking by hiding their cigarettes. 

The next day I realized older kids were willing to pay a premium per cigarette to avoid buying a full pack (and being caught by their parents). 

Allowing me to make my first money flipping cigarettes per piece to afford my weekly burger.

Today, I apply the same principles to create growth by capturing and creating demand.

I am a true believer in eating your own dog food before selling it. 

Which is why I failed and succeeded with launching: 
- A subscription model for renting furniture to students (StuDream) --> failed

- Multiple coffee bars (Sister Bean) --> sold shares at a loss and was left with a coffee container

- Cocktailboxes (Alchemistbox) --> sold for the exact amount I lost in previous ventures

- Software for Facebook Group Admins (Socialtribes) --> failed due to founders misalignment. 

- CV Builder (Worcc) --> failed due to founders misalignment. 

- AI headshots (Betterpic) --> ongoing to grow to 2M yearly revenue in 2025 and 3,6M in 2026 (building in the open)

- Marketing Agency (Saasmic) --> ongoing and fully booked

"De kat is uit de zak" as they say in Belgium. 

Hannelore Knuts officially joins as an investor and advisor. 

An important milestone for BetterStudio as it strengthens our position to become the first AI fashion company that works with the industry, not against it. 

To mark this milestone, Hannelore sat down with SEVERINE NIJS, founder of model agency Jackie Lee and BetterStudio's Head of Human Identity, for a special conversation.

They dive into the future of AI in fashion, digital twins, and why Hannelore believes in BetterStudio's ethical vision. 

I was personally part of the behind-the-scenes, and can only admire 2 power women talking about how they are seeing the industry change and taking the lead for the better.

Because the future of modeling isn't fake. It's digitally extended.

PS: Did you know she just launched her book?

PPS: Miguel Rasero's size is just an optical illusion 👀 😝 

PPPS: I need a haircut, we can all agree on that, right?

$3m yearly bootstrapped revenue with BetterPic 🤳 Building the next big thing in AI Fashion Imagery.

What makes BetterStudio different from all the other AI fashion players? 

We are working with the fashion industry, not against it. 

That’s why we started the collaboration with the one and only Hannelore Knuts. 

And I have to admit one thing. 

Every time I dug deeper into her journey as a fashion model, I kept being impressed. 

Over 240 runway shows, 40 covers in magazines like Vogue and overall just a power woman. 

Recording this podcast on the future of Digital twins, AI in fashion and more with SEVERINE NIJS was a big eye opener. 

I can officially call myself a podcast director now 👀. 

Launching this Thursday!
