Hobbies and Interests
Outside of my professional pursuits, I love diving into various hands-on projects that tap into my innate curiosity and creativity. As a maker, designer, and mechanic, I enjoy tinkering with 3D printers, bicycles, and vintage Saab cars. I also enjoy camping in my teardrop trailer.
These hobbies not only allow me to explore the intricate relationship between humans and technology but also inspire me to continuously refine my skills and fuel my innovative spirit. Through these experiences, I gain fresh perspectives and a deeper understanding of the importance of problem-solving in the realm of design.
