<p>At the EXPO2020 (Nov 21) the UK Pavilion in Dubai, UAE.</p>

DEAR VISITOR.

A very warm welcome.

Yes, I could not decide whether it should be a purely professional website with some photos (I took over the last years) or a photo website about my profession as a brand enthusiast, communication specialist, strategist, and brand experience creator.

That's why it has become like this right now. Have fun scrolling through.
… and of course: thanks in advance for feedback and comments.

<p>Full spring time. Our neighbor's magnolia tree in front of his somewhat difficult (#notaste) wall color, makes the flowers really shine even brighter.</p>

MOTIVATION.

Extra nothing for Internet Explorer users.

It took me a lot of effort to design the website that is displayed with many massive errors and bugs on Internet Explorer. That is my personal message to Microsoft.

Eat this, Bill.
