CURRENT MISSION

My mission is not to have any mission. Take things as they come and enjoy.

ABOUT ME

I am a designer. Not in the "i make beautiful stuff" kind of way, but more like "I structure stuff so it makes sense". Since 2004 happily in center Amsterdam, watching the hordes of tourists flow past my house every day. I like having good discussions about whatever comes to mind, if possible with a glass of wine of beer.

PHILOSOPHY

none that I am aware of...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Done research completely in the wild in Botswana, between the monkeys. We tried to make them think we were a leopard so they would make alarm calls.

Teach, Learn, Share

well. My speciality is acting and that is probably why I am very good at observing. To observe people, to try and figure out what is driving them, why they are behaving the way they do. The funny thing is that therefore I can learn from anyone, and teach it to anyone. :)
