Like to observe. Like to make things. Trained in science. Self-taught in design. Work is never done only iterations are. Curious about most things. Thinking and doing are the only way. Like to meet new people. Like to meet new animals. In constant search for truth and beauty. Mind and hand are one. Mens et Manus. Nice to meet you. Nicer in person. Pronounced as there-ya dan.
