graphic designer who actually just wanted to draw comics, then wanted to work as a taxi driver ( 8 years ), pretended to become lawyer ( < 15 years ), graphic designer ( < 18 years ), creative writer ( < 21 years ). Ended up typing text ads for a newspaper, after a few months switched to layout them /w Quark Xpress 2.x, worked /w Photoshop 2.x on a Mac LC II first. Went to South America for about four months, came back and somehow became graphic designer, first in little agencies, then in larger ones. Rediscovered code in form of HTML/CSS in 1997 (loathed it in form of Turbo Pascal 1988-89 ), gave up crappy WYSIWYG-Editors 1998 , switched to BBedit (MacOS Text Editor). Made Webpages, Banner-Ads and Video post processing (Video/DVD), 3D-Graphic (Cinema4D) for some time and granted himself an education as Illustrator 2008 . Got a daughter and an iPhone the same year, continued to design and (more and more) to illustrate. Thought repeatedly about finally upgrading his old website. Got a son 2012 and a Sony Xperia Z the same year. Went to a pro Photographer for a Profile Pic for the Website in 9.2013. Made a few drafts for it afterwards. Separated from child-mother 2015 , moved out to a flat nearby. Started with new drafts for the Website in May 2016 , put together a Wireframe of one page using the Bootstrap Framework, stumbled upon less to sass and compass. Learning to cope with it since then, using vim on MacOS iTerm2 (better Terminal emulator). Whew . ©
