About Me
Welcome to my personal website!
This page is mainly designed to show you what I am up to. It is not intended to be a blog, but I might still show some personal projects that I am working on and might even give blogpost-like updates sometimes.
Most importantly, this is continously being updated and adjusted, so some things might be missing or not working;)
Please don’t hesitate to message me if you want to talk to me about anything you find on these pages!

So here’s a very, very condensed list of some additional things I sometimes do, did, or want to do very much: photography, learning and playing guitar, digital 3D modeling, miniature painting, hypnosis, game design and programming, streaming, …
