What I’m doing NOW

Welcome to my NOW Page

Here you’ll find what’s on my mind, what I’m working on, and what I’m thinking about and reflecting on. What I am reading. What I am listening to. What I am doing.

This site is inspired by the wonderful Derek Sivers, who has created a real movement of it. You can find other people who also have a Now Page HERE. And maybe this will inspire you to create your own too. I recommend it! (You can find my profile here.)

Work

After two years as a communications professional at QuinScape, a subsidiary of data & analytics specialist Dataciders, I joined Dataciders with our entire marketing and communications team. I’m really excited about this, especially about the opportunity to dive deeper into internal communications after having focused on public relations in the years before.

Collage

I’m exploring the collage! Currently I’ve been enjoying making my own material instead of using found material from magazines and books. Big inspiration were some online courses with amazing artist Lisa Congdon on creativebug. I’enjoy experimenting with colors and shapes and love being led by intuition.

Read

I have recently started a lovely new ritual that I do in the morning after writing my morning pages. Every morning I first read the day’s entry in Patti Smith’s wonderful „A Book of Days“ and then a poem from Mary Oliver’s collection „Devotions“. So much wisdom in just a few beautiful words.

In the evening I enjoy reading „Ninth Street Women: Lee Krasner, Elaine de Kooning, Grace Hartigan, Joan Mitchell, and Helen Frankenthaler: Five Painters and the Movement That Changed Modern Art“ by Mary Gabriel. Excellent book!

Listen

Róisín Murphy. Her new album „Hit Parade“ on a continuous loop. I’m so looking forward to her concert in Cologne in March.

Also love to listen to the new PJ Harvey album „I Inside the Old Year Dying“. Incredibly beautiful.

What else?

I started running again in preparation for a hiking tour with my sister along the Rheinsteig. And to take part in the B2run Corporate Run in Dortmund. Both things take place in May.
