Description

Hi, I'm Jan Philip and I'm on here to step out of my routined life once in a while.
I get motivated if I can contribute to something meaningful and useful that makes a difference for people. Especially when it comes to projects that somehow make use of nature's resources in a sustainable way.
I feel happy when I can lose myself in (mostly physical, not digital) work that demands my full attention. I love solving problems, especially when it comes to crafting things. Falling asleep after a good day of physical work is priceless.

What else ...

I'm here to learn. I wanna learn all the skills that you have to offer and always bring an open ear to the table.
I love to cook from time to time. Being around inspiring people is crucial to me, but I don't need 24 h company, I need to regenerate from social input, so I value my time alone as well.
I love being around animals and I grew up with two siblings.
Although I'm not a dad, my jokes tend to go there :)
Right now I'm really much into woodworking and also 3D-Printing. I think, using the technological advantages of our time can really help us build amazing things, especially if you can pare that with natural materials like ceramics, timber etc.
