I wanted to give a handmade wallet as a Christmas gift. I could not find a template that I was entirely happy with, so I took pieces from here and there and designed my template. It’s a minimalist wallet with two card slots and a pocket in the middle for some cash. You can download...

DIY Minimalist Leather Wallet

I wanted to stamp custom logos to leather. I needed it for hobby use, so metal stamps are out of the question. I 3D printed one for a test and, those seem to work very well. They are fast and easy to make too. I made a coaster with my logo for myself. The wallet...

I’m renovating my workroom and wanted to design some artwork for the new walls. I stumbled upon this nice city roads project that enables you to see and download all roads (and nothing else) in vector form. It uses open street map data to do this so the map is very detailed. If you are...

I updated my portfolio and removed the series menu. I made cover images for all the series and used them as a grid instead. I think this looks cleaner.
