I’ve been asked if I'm okay in the head after saying I run for fun. Part meditation, part brainstorm and part adventure, running is how I find my centre and I go a bit peculiar if I leave it too long.

I like the unusual perspectives you get from sci-fi, like what would happen if dolphins were sentient and became space ship pilots? or what if you you could install a computer in your brain?

I’ve been creating parts of the internet for more than 15 years and I’m completely in love with the digital medium.
