AVIATION

I distinctly remember the point at which I developed my passion for commercial aviation. It was after one of the first flights I can remember: a family trip to the US on a Delta DC-10-10 when I was 3 years old. I remember being fascinated by everything around me and so I decided to collect as much paraphernalia as possible to remember the experience. This was the spark for my collection of inflight magazines, which now includes over 850 issues from airlines all over the world. I am an active member on a variety of online aviation-related communities including Airliners.net and Flyertalk. I frequently go plane spotting and write extensive trip reports/reviews that are read by thousands of people all over the world.

Below is a selection of my latest aviation trip reports that document some of my interesting travels over the past years.

GET IN TOUCH

Feel free to get in touch at any point to connect over aviation, design, sustainability and product development topics. I would love to hear from anyone with interesting leads on potential work in the aviation industry that relates to my skills and passions.

I also still do some freelance web- and graphic design work and have good connections to the product design, product engineering and web-design/development communities. Drop me a line if you have a project that you need help with!
