EPIC - Digital creative agency

HUGUES LISMONDE

Partner / Lead developer

Hugues fell in Steve Jobs’s kangoo when he was only a little shrimp, but today, he’s an accomplished web developer who gained many skills from his previous experiences as a developer and as an IT architect for one of the most respected belgian digital agency.

Moreover don’t ever dare to challenge him on an apple contest because he will literally kick your ass!

Special moves : please note he looks like a bad-ass when he’s dressed as a biker. Yeah, Hugues digs speed and you shouldn’t cross his path on the freeway, ever heard of the street hawk?

BENOIT RONDEUX

Partner / Project manager

Benoit first put his hands on computer when he was just 8 and when the screen were flashy-green and black which is certainly one of the reasons why he watched "The Matrix" more than 20 times. Since then, he has tried more softwares, websites and beta stuff than the whole EPIC team will ever do (note : you wish benoît)... Why? Because curiosity is like a second nature for this crazy-about-his-daughter young daddy.

You've got it, Benoit is not an amazing designer nor an unbelievable developer but he knows enough about both worlds to understand what can be done and what should not. For the last 7 years he ran internet projects for either very small and (very) big companies.

Besides spending a lot of time managing projects with us at EPIC, and because Benoit does not like to watch "Plus Belle la Vie", he also owns and manage a successful e-commerce website for more than 6 years from now along with some other projects which keeps him awake (very) late in the evening. So if you want to talk about e-commerce, online marketing, social media, community brands and all those nasty words, lock him with you in a meeting room and for sure you will get out of there with a bunch a cool ideas! (and perhaps you will also fall in love with him, youuuu naughty boy).

KARIM MAALOUL

Partner / Interactive developer

If I say "flash","AS3" and "design" you must directly think about Karim. This tall and sturdy guy is a former karate champion whose passion for design and illustration naturally drove to search for a way to move a step forward with animation.

He only needed a formation in flash development to be totally grabbed by its possibilities and now he has become a very talented interactive developer, not only because of his skills for development but also because he is the stuff the best designers are made of! That's what makes him so unique!

He worked with some of the most talented designers and developers of Belgium and his experience is one Epic's most valuable asset. Plus, he's a new "daddy" so don't forget to ask him about his daughter, he will tell you with the biggest pleasure

MORGAN LEIDGENS

Partner

Morgan is the well known mysterious "top gardener"...Okay, okay, just kidding...Morgan is especially known here for his aptitudes in business management, numbers juggling and his activity as a manager in the family business that is Leidgens.

Working at Epic Morgan is the guy who is always the very first to come with an answer as soon as valuable management skills are required, plus, et he is a fearsome merchant who eventually led us to our famous :"You need to bargain? Just send Morgan".

Always smiling, Morgan has also a thing for speed, hunting, good food and fighting with bears with only his bare hands...or at least that's perhaps what he always dreamt of.

FABRICE LEJEUNE

Ninja developer

Fabrice is our brand new Ninja developer. He's not only really good at all these matrix stuff with 1 and 0 but he's also a talented DJ during his past time. As discrete as a real Ninja, he will kick your ass on Bomberman or Halo. As a design lover, he's also able to give a real good advice on our designs. Okay, he's been here for only a few times but we will learn more about him in the upcoming time and perhaps we'll have a lot more things to say about our new comrade-in-arms.

KEVIN DESSOUROUX

Web integrator / Web designer

Directly landed from some unknown nordic territory, Kevin is a warrior always ready to hit the challenges that get on his way. He could be described as the missing link between designers and developpers touching in both world all the time but he's more than that!

Observer and keen on learning everyday, he never hesitates to fully engage in what he does. He'll be happy to change the world with you over a couple of drinks (preferably some unknown tough beverages) and perhaps he'll tell you a mythological tale… unless you prefer to speak about the Middle Ages. But I warn you, you cannot beat Kevin to besiege a castle!

Besides that, he enjoys mountain biking, pagan folk music, Scandinavian landscapes and Breton pancakes. You'll find him experimenting stuff in front of his computer or simply smiling about the colors of the autumn forest not far from his pond. 'Cause yes, he's convinced that there may have a balance between love for nature and passion for new technologies!

ALEXANDRE DERWA

Project Manager

Alex is a passionate one! But what is he passionate about? Well, the web is for him a big playground where he'll lose track of time testing all these cool kickass next big things that will change the world. He sleeps with his smartphone and there's an iPad hiding behind the mirror of his toilets. If you tell him that, “the first rule about Fight Club is...” he will know that the second rule is not about soap.

Organized by nature, he's the kind of guy who will test all kind of productivity softwares to find the one that really makes projects run efficiently! He loves design and understands how programming can be challenging so he talks to both worlds in order to bring the magic and make sure the client is happy. Curious and open by nature, he will talk to strangers and even better, he will listen to them!

Besides, he loves music/concerts, taking photos, watching great films/series and backpacking around the globe.
