Personal Interests
Next to creating digital and traditional art I like playing the guitar and listening to music with friends.
I love playing VR at home with games that give me a good workout.
When the weather is good I regularly go longboard with friends.

I did scouting from 5 years young but unfortunately had to quit at the age of 18 when I started studying by the lack of time.
