General

I am a designer, a university teacher, and a photographer. Sometimes I write about things. So, this is my website and you will find the stuff I create and write about. I usually try to write about interesting stuff, so please excuse me if sometimes something not so interesting slips through.

Oh, yeah, and I usually wear glasses, which I didn’t on the photo due to some vanity issues.
