I love the creative process, I love experimenting, I love discovering new things and doing all kinds of stuff with it. I like to create toys that tell me something about myself.

  • Designer: Although most of you know me as a developer, I want to make a point here: I don’t develop. I create.
    I write code in order to create a visual masterpiece, either in interaction or experience; not in code; not in application architecture; none of those non-Ronny words.
