ZN

Disclaimer: Jerick was not harmed in the making of this interview nor given firm instructions to say nice things

My colleague, Jerick Parrone is from the Philippines, he works as a project manager and has been at ZN for the past three years.  He graduated with a degree in journalism from the University of the Philippines – Diliman in 2008 and moved to Belgium right after. He has been travelling back and forth between the two countries for the past 3 years but now, he is happily settled in Brussels.

If he is not at work, there’s a strong chance he is on plane to some exotic destination. He is passionate about making travel an integral part of a person’s lifestyle and sees it as a great way to continuously try and learn new things. Outside of travel, he enjoys a good fiction book, sci-fi and epic-based movies and jazz music. I interviewed him to know more about his work at ZN and some other interesting things.  Read more

As of Monday, May 9 ZN has found its new home in Place Flagey. Though there are still loose ends, we are already experimenting with the extended spaces, our new neighborhood and enjoying the good weather that has welcomed us to our new hub.

Week 6 of the rebuilding of ZN’s Hyperthinker Headquarters is coming to a close. With the walls up (and even some paint on the walls), carpet down, toilets installed and kitchen cabinets positioned we are starting to have a good idea of what the new space will actually look like. On to the decor! We have started coming up with ideas for floating panels in the entry and wall mounted touch screens throughout the main passageway. The idea is to showcase our values while displaying our creativity and techno-savvy. We searched around the web for some office artwork that we could use as inspiration. Read more

Standing in front of an empty room, abandoned house or a unoccupied office, I imagine what could possibly take place: people having conversations, another filing papers, someone going for lunch. I find these blank spaces full of inspiration, like many people might. The spaces become alive right in front of me, filled with colors and sounds. The same is happening now, every time I go to the new office with Nicolas to take photographs. Read more

Sometimes it is valuable to go back to the building blocks and begin again, rebuilding, recreating and giving sense to our work from a new starting point. “Just a simple step back to give two forward.” It happens often in our Creative Studio: we rethink the strategy, the design, the navigation and find new solutions to the challenges proposed by our clients. From there, we can start to create something completely new and innovative. That is the basis of our work. Read more

That’s right! We just began renovations of what will be our new office! For the next two to three months we will be keeping you updated with images and info of the progress. After the jump you can see what it looks like now. Read more
