Resume

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. And I also spend time understanding how systems might sustain more conversations and contraptions that might make life a little easier.

I love animals, travel, poetry and humour, not always in that order.
