      Making almost Anything while travelling: creative digital nomad

      It started with a sabbatical year of travelling, reading and getting to know amazing locals and their way of living, thinking, creating, worrying and dreaming. It was a life changing experience, which made me quit my academic job and start a freelance on-the-move career. So far I have worked with designers and makers in Europe, Central and South America and South East Asia, I have given lectures to universities and creative spaces, collaborated with Fab Labs for projects, consulted Fab Labs and co-working spaces and I've also designed a series of projects inspired by my new experiences.
