This is me

Jan Oliver Waldeck

Interactive & Web Designer

Welcome! My name is Jan (which is more like "Yahn" than "Jenn") , I have German citizenship (American too), was born in Colombia and raised in São Paulo, Brazil - where I spent most of my life. Now I seem to have finally settled here in the US. Phew. My dreams are like United Nations security council meetings.

I have been a nerd forever, striving for pixel perfect designs, great user interfaces & clean code! I love tennis and am currently exploring new pursuits such as photography and skiing.
