Hello :) First of all, thank you for looking at this page and reading this introduction. It’s always a bit odd to talk about yourself, but I’ll try my best!
My name is Paul, and I currently live in Leiden. Before moving here for Media Tech, I lived in Arnhem for a few years where I studied Product Design at ArtEZ. Between my bachelor's and master's I worked as a crafts teacher. Lots of fun, especially with children and their creative minds (adults are a bit boring to be honest).
Besides school I enjoy walking long distances and I go swimming every week. Cooking, drawing, visiting museums/ exhibitions, or having endless discussions with friends are also some of my habits. I also work as a volunteer for the Coming In Week, a Pride week in Arnhem that I am organizing with seven other queer people. Coming In is about coming out of the closet and entering new unfamiliar territory. What does it mean to be queer in a straight dominated world? It’s still very much necessary in conservative times like these.
I like to spend time in both the physical and digital worlds. I think both are interesting. One cannot beat the other.
Well that’s it! Goodbyeeeeee
