about me:
At the present I finished studying »communication design« at the
»University of Applied Science« in Schwaebisch Gmuend, Germany. I haven't specialized in a single branch yet, because I am interested in different types of design whether it is development of user interface, animation, film, illustration or typography. I am also really interrested in playing and making music (playing guitar and collecting vinyl) love sports like, skateboarding, swimming and surfing whenever I am nearby the ocean.
