I love making & growing things.

Professions are a thing of the past, I do believe in chasing dreams by making beautiful things. Our present and future as makers, artists and designers is to break away from toxic structures from the past and passionately design for the world we wish to live in.

I take my pleasures seriously. Addicted to Club Mate, filter coffee and good music.

Open for collaborations.
