What’s this blog?

Sometimes I help creative people, but more often I help myself.

I started this little blog as an experiment while studying for my Master in Design to make the creative life easier for … well, creative people. I called it “Improve your Creative Life“.

My interest and motivation have changed a bit in the last year. It has radically changed to be more dramatic about it. While I still like to help creative people, I care about other things in my artistic work. Namely: I love telling stories. So that is my focus at the moment.

From time to time I still try to make life easier for creative people, but I use it more as a blog to tell things about my creative work and my life (and the struggles of it). So if you are interested in some tips and tricks for your creative life and want to hear from me, this is the place to be.

Feel free to give me ideas for articles; Use the suggestion form for this! For feedback, you can send me an email or go to my contact form.

Oh, and by the way, I’m not a native English speaker. So if you see mistakes or some weird sentences, just keep calm and carry on. I use Deepl to help me translate and fix things, but sometimes even AI doesn’t understand me.

Interested in a collaboration? Any ideas, wishes, or feedback for me? Send me a message!
