I enjoy creating 3D models in Blender and drawing in Photoshop. I often use what I create to enhance the looks of my projects, I’m not the greatest artist but they suffice for prototyping!
In my spare time, I enjoy both designing and playing board games with friends.
I have been playing guitar for over 20 years and I have previously worked as a private guitar tutor and semi-professional live musician.
