Work and some more

ABOUT ME
I spend my time watching people. I draw them, the way they are, the way some people want to be and sometimes I have interesting conversations with them. Some of these conversations lead into projects, which through sweat and patience lead into products or platforms for more concepts. I spend time understanding how systems might sustain more conversations and contraptions that make life a little easier.
I love animals, travel, poetry and humour, not always in that order.
