| style="padding: 0px 10px 0px 0px;" |[[File:0903 Andreas Zanders quadratisch-3974x3974.jpg|250x250px]] Technical Project Manager [http://mailto:andreas.zanders@parasol-island.com andreas.zanders@parasol-island.com] Sprache: Deutsch, Englisch Stadt: Düsseldorf||'''Where do you come from, and where are you headed?''' In addition to my computer science studies, I worked freelance as a web developer. After that I got into a digital agency mostly dedicated to the gaming industry. Out of that with two of my colleagues we founded our own company with a wider range of software services and had some exciting projects. Sadly I had to leave the company for reasons of economic disagreements but we're still friends though. Freelancing again I had come to the point where I don't want to work alone as an one-man-army anymore. So I'm looking forward to work on awesome projects with a skilled team and in a structured environment.
 

'''What skills do you bring to the company? How would you want to develop your talents?''' So far I have gained a lot of experience in various areas from software architecture to project and account management and sometimes got my hands on design and UX. The small size of teams most of the time had me to fill multiple positions at once. I bring the typical dev-stack as I always did a lot of development by myself but I also like to look over the edge of the plate and see the whole thing. My greatest strength would be my ability to understand what people want and what they really need and bring those together, with the tech in mind but not necessary on the table. How do I want to develop? Well, there is definitely a lot to learn in all of these areas and as knowledge is power I'm trying to get it at least over 9000. 
 
'''What bores you to death and what ramps your adrenaline level?''' Doing the same thing over and over is definitely going to bore me and as long as I'm not limited in time or budget, I'd rather spend 5 hours to automate a job that I could do in 1 hour by hand. It should be either an exciting problem or at least a creative solution to a trivial one. For a really strong adrenaline rush I recommend having someone kill the live DB on a midnight release without having a proper backup. 
 
 
'''What's your current object of desire, and what really moves you?''' I'm thinking about buying a used caravan and start road tripping Europe with my family this year. Going wherever you want, whenever you want to is something I'd enjoy and you have the chance to see more places than being stuck at one hotel for two weeks straight. Otherwise it's going to be a custom made bass guitar. We'll see. 
 
'''What gadget is indispensable and which application always has a solution?''' I would say you need two things: Gaffa tape and a smartphone. If you cant fix it with Gaffa its probably a digital problem, so you search the web for solutions. Amazon Alexa and the new smart-home technology are very interesting at the moment and I'd love to use it more but as my house is like 100 years old there is not as much capability as I'd desire.. 
 

'''Which website do you visit frequently? Whom do you meet offline?''' Like most others I'd say its Facebook but also Stackoverflow. And o/c google. I do not have any fancy, inspiring websites/persons that I follow. If I'm interested in something I just search for it and try to get a wide spectrum of knowledge and opinions on the topic.
In the real world I usually just hang out with my friends and the band- 
 

'''What books and music are you enjoying at the moment? What are the works you wouldn’t want anyone to miss?''' This section could get really long one but to keep it short: I like Rock music, mostly classic and post Rock. Last concert I attended was A Perfect Circle and I would recommend listening to the new Album Eat The Elefant. Also looking forward to the shows of Tool this year, they better have the new album coming. Caution, self-advertisement: If you want to checkout my own band PAVALLION just visit pavallion.de or stream it on all major services. Book-wise I'm into old school 1950s science fiction right now, pretty weird.

Hard to say... Short version: Born in Lüdenscheid, not so far away from here. Raised in Omsk Siberia, Russia. Past seven years of my life I spent more or less in Freiburg. 
Where am I headed? Phew, for now I am happy to be here on the Island. But I hope to travel to other exciting countries and cities, #deutscherpass. Plan for the next road trip: down the West Coast, California, USA.. 
 

'''What skills do you bring to the company? How would you want to develop your talents?''' I am interested in a wide spectrum of film-making and would say that I am a good allrounder. I can organize in several languages, work independently and I love video shoots and edits with a good flow. But sometimes I just like to shoot stills. In addition, I am very interested in all the techie camera/computer stuff. 
I would like to develop and improve myself, by learning from the experience of others. With all the things I'm interested in, I'd like to find out in which area I'm really gifted!. 
 
'''What bores you to death and what ramps your adrenaline level?''' Any letter from german offices bores me to death; 
I get an adrenaline rush when traveling into the unknown when driving a car at its limits or while climbing, surfing, and snowboarding!
 
 
'''What's your current object of desire, and what really moves you?''' Phew, if it has to be an object... I find myself having fun with technical things. As these often improve my workflow. On my current wishlist: The Sony a7s III or a7 IV, (not released until now), 15 inch MacBook Pro with touchbar. 

What drives me is the desire to always grow, by using the time I have to live a life f purpose and value. Producing high-quality films, which are pleasing to the eye, but also with a message that move people and make them think. 
 
'''What gadget is indispensable and which application always has a solution?''' Gaffa Tape must always be there, it can save the shoot. 

GoogleMaps app always has a solution. 
 
'''Whhat website do you visit frequently? Whom do you meet offline?''' Definitely youtube.com and instagram.com 

Offline, I love to hang out with friends playing some Basketball, Beach Volleyball or relax playing a game of billiards. Or else just a game night or deep talk. 
 
'''What books and music are you enjoying at the moment?''' I have to admit, I'm not the type of person who is into reading books, but I like to listen to an audiobook or podcast. Music also plays an important role in my daily life. Since I've played drums myself for many years, that also has an influence on what I listen, I like hip hop with solid beats but also some ChillStep. Some Artist from my Spotify: NF, LZ7, Grits, GWF, Illenium, Group 1 Crew, Needtobreathe, O'Bros, ODESZA, Planetshakers / Boom, Skillet, TobyMac.

Tauschte die alpinen Wälder Tirols gegen den Mailänder Fashion Dschungel ein, konnte mich nach einigen Jahren davon lossagen ... bin jetzt unter dem Himmel Berlins gelandet, und möchte bis über die Wolken hinaus! 
 
'''Welche Fähigkeiten bringst auf die Insel mit, und wohin möchtest du dein Talent entwickeln?''' Kann italienisches Verhandlungsgeschick und kollossalen Charme anbieten – und auch kreatives Multitasking, barrierefreie Denkweisen und wahnsinnige Motivation. Ich kann dich innerhalb von 5 Minuten davon überzeugen, warum du ab sofort, unbedingt und nur noch eine 16 Euro teure Zahnpasta verwenden sollst, obwohl ich daraus gar keinen Profit schlage … Wünsche mir, dass sich zu diesen Fähigkeiten noch weitere gesellen werden, und ich diese verfeinern, einer Evolution unterziehen, und alle Beteiligten, Kollegen, Klienten und ich selbst den bestmöglichen Nutzen und Gewinn daraus erzielen können. 
 
'''Was langweilt dich zu Tode und was lässt deinen Adrenalinpegel steigen?''' Tausche ewigen Small-Talk gegen wahren Meinungsaustausch, Monologe gegen Dialoge, Action-Flme gegen Indie-Movies, Schnarchnasen gegen gewitzten Humor und strenge Perfektion gegen kreative Virtuosität. 
 
'''Was ist dein aktuelles Objekt der Begierde und was bewegt dich wirklich?''' Ein Thorens Plattenspieler TD 203 in schwarz. Was be-rührt mich: Das Salz der Erde von Salgado, Courage und Mut, ehrliches Interesse, der Mangel an Arroganz, ein natürliches Lachen und Offenheit. 
 
'''Welches Gadget ist unentbehrlich und welche Applikation hat immer eine Lösung parat?''' Leider und natürlich mein Iphone, von Musik über Fotos und Messages ein Allroundbegleiter … Für meine musikalischen Ader: Deezer. Um kurz in die Welt zu schauen: Süddeutsche Zeitung. Um ein Konzert einer meiner Lieblingsbands zu finden und zu buchen: Songkick. 
 
'''Welcher Domain stattest du täglich einen Besuch ab und wem gerne in echt?''' Im digitalen Leben findet man mich jeden Tag auf www.models.com und www.consequenceofsound.net, In the real life ist es das Schönste, mit meiner 87jährigen Oma einen Kaffee zu trinken und sie so zum Lachen zu bringen, so dass das kleine Mädchen in ihr zum Vorschein kommt – Ode an meine Oma, ja. 
 
'''Was liest und hörst du momentan und welche Standardwerke möchtest du nicht missen?''' Im Moment lese ich "The Lovesong of J. Alfred Prufrock" von T.S. Elliot und "Die Mauer" von Jean-Paul-Sartre. Uu meinen Lieblings-Klassikern zählen: "Die unerträgliche Leichtigkeit des Seins" (Kundera), "Ansichten eines Clowns" (Böll) und "1984" (Orwell).
Meine aktuellen musikalischen Obsessionen: Julia Holter (Song: Feel You), Azymuth (Album: Light as a Feather), Little Wings (Album: Explains). Standard Musts: Keith Jarrett (Album: The Köln Concert – MEISTERWERK!), verschiedenes oder fast alles von Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Chet Baker und Nick Drake .

After graduating I lived in Brazil for 10 years, where I worked as a buyer and product manager for several fashion brands until I founded my own small company with two co-founders. Now I’m back in Germany for almost two years and did several projects long distance for the company I founded. But despite the positive aspects of having my own business, I miss the day to day interaction with colleagues in the office and learning from the experience of others and that’s why I applied for a job at Parasol Island, an inspiring company where I can face new challenges. 
 
'''What skills do you bring to the company? How would you want to develop your talents??''' Over the years I improved my ability to build relationships and trust with different types of stakeholders, even if they have competing needs I can engage with a lot of diplomacy and manage priorities. I’m very stress resistant and remain approachable no matter the internal struggle. 
I’m sure that I’ll learn a lot from my fellow colleagues. Being part of a team that manages challenging projects, which are very different from what I did until now, will help me develop my talents and get better in my profession.
 
 
'''What bores you to death and what ramps your adrenaline level?''' Repetitive monologues without objective.. 
I love to binge-watch shows. I get very excited and just can't stop watching. Last one that I saw was La Casa de Papel (in Ger. Haus des Geldes). 
 
'''What’s your current object of desire, and what really moves you?''' I admit I’m a fashion victim, so my current object of desire is a certain designer handbag. Besides that, I’m thinking about buying a Vespa. 
Offline I like being surrounded by family and friends.
My kids – literally. 
 
'''What website do you visit frequently? Whom do you meet offline?''' Travel blogs & Instagram (like: cntraveler.com / travelandleisure.com / @beautifuldestinations)
I love traveling and I’m always looking for new destinations and things to see. My current dream destination is Mexico, specially Tulum and Guanajuato. 
Offline I like being surrounded by family and friends. 
 
'''What books and music are you enjoying at the moment? What are classics you would not want anyone to miss?''' To be honest I haven’t had a lot of time to read lately, but I hear a lot of audiobooks. The last one I heard was from a thriller series by Andreas Gruber (Sneijder & Nemez). Until today the novels I enjoyed most reading, were from the Millennium Series by Stieg Larsson.
I have a very eclectic music taste and like almost everything. But at the moment I like hearing Milky Chance and at home we hear a lot of reggae and Brazilian music like Caetano Veloso, Flavia Coelho and Criolo.

Originally from a small village in Lower Saxony, located between cornfields and the mesmerizing noise of the A2. Currently headed for losing the Junior in Junior Producer in the near future. 
 
'''What skills do you bring to the company? How would you want to develop your talents?''' Massive passion for film. Goal-oriented, organized workflow. Cheerful, even when things get hectic. Hoping to participate in as many splendid projects as possible. 
 
'''What bores you to death and what ramps your adrenaline level?''' Coordinating and billing extras kills me. Small, rock’n’roll-esque car shoots make me love my job. 
 
'''What's your current object of desire, and what really moves you?''' An agave green, late 1960’s BMW 2002ti. Which is also what I hope will be moving me in the very near future. 
 
'''What gadget is indispensable and which application always has a solution?''' Very oldschool - pen and notebook, simply because it never runs out of battery and it always keeps track of the things I may lose sight of. 
 
'''What website do you visit frequently? Whom do you meet offline?''' Pitchfork & Youtube. Among all the kitten stuff there is some surprisingly interesting content to discover, i. e. Every frame a painting, Lessons from the Screenplay, Now you see it, Petrolicious. 
 
'''What books and music are you enjoying at the moment? What are the works you wouldn’t want anyone to miss?''' It seems like as I get older so does the music I enjoy. As for the past few weeks I’ve excessively listened to Funkadelic, Buddy Miles & Led Zeppelin, Kendrick & Oddisee when it comes to more recent stuff. In therms of essential classics… I guess if I had to pick 3 records to the notorious deserted island I’d say Miles Davis – Kind of Blue, Jimi Hendrix – Are you experienced & Bob Dylan – The freewheelin’ Bob Dylan.
Oh and Books. I must admit that currently I’m reading nothing but the newspaper. Last book was Homo Faber though, loved it.

Overcoming a traumatic past I am headed into a brave new world.
Balls! I am from the most southern part of NRW, Bad Godesberg which is a part of Bonn. Although I am very excited to see where my journey on this very fine looking island takes me. 
 
'''What skills do you bring to the company? How would you want to develop your talents? ''' Curiosity. Up to an annoying level. I love to learn all the things. Like ALL THE THINGS.How did this get made? Who made it and why? I will try to keep this in check. Try. (btw: This also results in a ton of unnecessary knowledge)

'''What gadget is indispensable and which application always has a solution?''' Espresso machine, camera and record player. (or any music playing device really). YouTube has 99.9% the solution for everything. (Want to know how to repair a twenty-year-old hydraulic pump? Bam! YouTube!).

Some nerds who I watch superhero movies with and my „normal“ friends.
 
 
'''What books and music are you enjoying at the moment? What are the works you wouldn’t want anyone to miss?''' The The Three-Body Problem trilogy by Cixin Liu is some of the finest science fiction I have ever read. And for my dark humor fix I love me some Catch 22 and Hitchhiker's
Guide to the Galaxy. Musically I also tend to be very curios. Experimental, world music, obscure classical
music but also the good stuff such as philly sound, 70s rock, blues, 00s house, jazz etc.
If you want you can check out Nujabes, Yusef Lateef, Anna Meredith, C.W. Stoneking, Noir Desir and Mariza if you haven’t already. Cheers!

Following my university degree, I started to manage the Uwe van Afferden Store, a boutique with extraordinary fashion and a wide range of interior equipment, which is also the publisher of the The Heritage Post. 
In the future I want to gain foothold in the sector of media design, as well in the business area as in the creative part. My goal is to promote and create state-of-the-art media content and for lifestyle brands. 
 
'''What skills do you bring to the company? How would you want to develop your talents?''' 
I know a lot about textiles and the fashion industry. Thanks to my apprenticeship as an industrial clerk and my retail experiences I know how to deal with numbers as well as with many types of personalities and have a profound knowledge about business administration. Being grown up in a highly creative household (parents both artists) has shaped me and explains my propensity for creativity. 
I want to improve my expertise in the commercial area, the ability to handle big deals, and associated therewith I want to develop my soft skills like dealing with customers in a b2b environment.Another objective is to gain competence in the matter of producing creative media content in order to evolve my creativity.

I am bored to death when I cannot be productive. 
On the other hand, standing in the ring sparring with my boxtrainer is ramping up my adrenaline level.

My current object of desire is the Saab 900 Cabriolet from 1992, which is the year when I was born. What really moves me: Moody music.

My Leica cam is definitely my indispensable gadget! I love the clean back-to-the-roots handling and the feel of quality in my hand - use a rangefinder one time and you never want to miss it again (unfortunately it is loan).
Regarding to my indispensable gadget, the application that always has a solution is Photoshop. You would not know it but PS nearly always has a solution for every unsuccessful photo. 
 
'''What website do you visit frequently? Whom do you meet offline?''' 
Old but gold: I daily visit my Tumblr account checking subscriptions. Again and again each and everyday I get inspired and fullfill the moodboard of my mind.

My latest experience was at KKLD* as a Senior Account Manager, part of the Wunderman/WPP network, a creative integrated agency with a focus on digital and 360 campaigns. I gained good knowledge in automotive / future mobility, healthcare and luxury products, mainly in Haute Horologie. Prior to that I was able to cross paths with a variety of different work fields within marketing, ranging from corporate (not so much my thing) to smaller startup internet companies as well as other agencies such iris Worldwide and Metia. I moved to Berlin in 2017, after 9 years in London and a short (though long felt) 1-year stop in Munich. I can safely say I found my long term base in Berlin, I love this city. I am looking forward to further developing my acquired versatile skill set with Parasol Island and its team, i.e. you guys! 
 
'''What skills would you bring to the company? How would you want to develop your talents?''' My strength lies in swiftly adopting new skills or knowledge fields required for the account and project management of a campaign or a specific client account or project. I believe in fully diving into the topic at hand, with the aim of spotting opportunities of growth that make sense to the needs of the client. Most importantly therefore, I like getting to know the people I work with, involving the needed experts from the very start to the end and creating a working environment of harmonious collaboration.

What I would mostly like to strengthen in my personal development is the aspect of business strategy, particularly for Parasol Island as a company, driving client opportunities, staying ahead of the trends and applying those however needed to us as a company, whilst keeping our customers' interest at heart. My fluency in four languages strives me to heighten Parasol Island's international traction as well!

Some of the project management realms I have been able to gain deeper knowledge on over the last few years: Website Relaunch, Website Management, Digital Tools (such as Sales Enablement Tools: Interactive E-Detailing, ROI Calculator and OnePagers), Positioning & Branding Campaigns, Production Management, Marketing Strategy (GTM), SEM, Social Media Activation.

I would like to expand my expertise in the above communication fields in more depth, with a particular focus on digital and interactive, if possible.

Last but not least, I would like to try to develop (though this very piece might say otherwise) my writing skills by contributing to your magazine once in a while. 
 
'''What bores you to death and what ramps up your adrenaline level?''' DEATH BOREDOM: Disengagement, selfishness, uncooperativeness.

ADRENALINE PUMP: Intelligent humour which opens up new perspectives to the individual. And mother nature! And travelling. 
 
'''What’s your current object of desire, and what really moves you?''' My current object of desire is people's minds and their exploration on an individual as well as broader population development level. What moves me is the endless and to some extent inexplicable (for now) investigation of how technology has impacted peoples minds and how it will further do so years to come. Of particular interest is the impact it will have on the interaction between work, our private life and the fiscal system, as well as education. A social environment movement, which explores exactly this impact has been pumping my adrenaline recently, and is called the Venus Project. 
 
'''What gadget is indispensable and which application always has a solution?''' Is there any other answer than your phone on this one? App with solutions for the usual day: GMaps, Whatsapp (though sometimes represents the problem and solution simultaneously!), Blinkist, Spotify, Podcasts, Foursquare (weekend) and Art Rabbit (weekend).
 
 
'''What website do you visit frequently? Whom do you meet offline?''' https://therealnews.com/

https://www.vice.com/de

https://www.manrepeller.com/

https://www.theguardian.com/international

https://www.thecut.com/

Offline, outside in the Real World, I mostly meet my friends. I have gone through a period of social cleansing, which was one of the most liberating efforts in recent years.

One of the secrets to inner balance and happiness, I have come to find out (better late than never): surround yourself only with the people that you truly connect with and cut out all other B...S (Pardon my French) 
 
'''What books and music are you enjoying at the moment? What are classics you would not want anyone to miss?'''

Books of all time: Ishmael, Steppenwolf, Professor Unrat, Sapiens (still reading)

Music: Everything that smoothly accompanies the moment (and is obviously attuned to my taste). The genres I like most: Soul, Electronic, Hip Hop, Classic. Please don't ever make me listen to hard rock or aggro metal.

In terms of the classics that I would not want anyone to miss, I can name you a few artists to keep the perspective broad, and maybe some details as we get to know each other: Otis Redding, Al Green, Fugees, Lauryn Hill, Slick Rick, BIG

I was born in Langenfeld, Germany but spend most of my elementary-school time in San Diego, California. After three years, I moved back to Germany. For now, I am happy to live in Monheim and work nearby. I cannot foresay where I will be heading in future, but what I can say for sure is that I want to stay here long. 
 
'''What skills do you bring to the company? How would you want to develop your talents?''' I would describe myself as creative. I like to play with different types of visualisation and the different media types. Also, it is very interesting to know how people react to these. Therefore I studied media and cognition science in Duisburg which combines all these. After my studies I worked as a Community Manager for the theme park Phantasialand. As soon as I saw the job opening here at Parasol Island I applied for it. I believe this is a great place to learn from very creative people and improve myself by watching them and seeing how professionals work. 
 
'''What bores you to death and what ramps your adrenaline level?''' Always repeating tasks with no challenge. Working very long on the same thing. Just hanging around and doing nothing. Those are probably the two things that bore me the most.
I love (almost) every sport, especially watersports, soccer and basketball. And I love to be a creative or try new things and see how these things develop.. 
 
'''What's your current object of desire, and what really moves you?''' To learn more about the digital work for a company, seeing the possibilities there and being part of a great team, that creates great work and media.
Personally I want to train more again to become more fit and strong again after my injuries. 
 
'''What gadget is indispensable and which application always has a solution?''' As far as you can still call it a gadget I would say my mobile. It has all the solutions for every situation I need. Do not get me wrong, I also like being offline for some days during holidays but in general and everyday life I really do not want to miss my mobile. 
 
'''What website do you visit frequently? Whom do you meet offline?''' Recently I often checked the news t3n provides to stay up to date. Also I like Pinterest to get ideas for many different things, especially DIY things and presents. Furthermore, I frequently watch basketball on DAZN.
Offline I often see my old friends from High School. We managed to stay in contact even though some of us moved further away. Additionally, my girlfriend and I often go to the harbour in Maintal, near Frankfurt for the weekend. My girlfriend grew up in that area and has friends there which camp at the harbour. Also, we can do watersports like wakeboarding or wakesurfing there, as far as our injured knees let us. 
Monkeys. 
 
'''What books and music are you enjoying at the moment? What are the works you wouldn’t want anyone to miss?''' I always plan to reed books, but in the end I actually don’t. It is something I want to change in the near future. I like different kind of music styles, my favourite are Hip Hop (of the 2000s), alternative, some country, and a music style I like to call surfer music.
Classics are of course the works of Eminem and 50 Cent. They were most present in my childhood and no matter if you want to motivate yourself, get ready for a (basketball) game or just party in style – you don’t want to miss these classics. .

I grew up in the flattest flatland, in Niedersachsen (Lower Saxony). After a few stops here and there I finally ended up in Berlin.. 
 
'''What bores you to death and what ramps your adrenaline level?''' Ignorance and arrogance! Slow internet and bad radio reception.
Adrenalin ramping in a positive way: Good concerts, animal videos, Capri Sonne and parachute jumping.... 
 
'''What's your current object of desire, and what really moves you?''' Maybe one day, perhaps, a Leica camera. And, of course, a mini-horse named Li'l Sebastian (Parks and Recreation fans know). Until then my beloved old bike I purchased at the local flee-market. 
 
'''What gadget is indispensable and which application always has a solution?''' Google and my gut feeling.

The new records from Arcade Fire and Manchester Orchestra. And – for topical reasons – Kettcar's Summer 89 (if they can do something, it’s lyrics).

'''What’s your current object of desire, and what really moves you?''' To beat the climb of the infamous Mont Ventoux this month. Makin’ moves moves me.   
 
'''What gadget is indispensable and which application always has a solution?''' My technics 1210er are indispensable. I can trust them and they will run forever.
There is an app called “Streichholz ziehen” If you don’t find a solution – grab a “Streichholz”. 
 
'''Which website do you visit frequently? Whom do you meet offline?''' Honestly, vimeo.com is the place to go. Sometimes it’s really hard to keep updated because so many new videos are uploaded every day. But a perfect day should start and end with a nice video which reminds us of the reason why we’re working in this field of work. Cause we simply love beautiful things. I love to meet friends in personal. All day long we’re staring at displays whether it’s a computer or cellphone display. It’s a refreshing feeling to turn it off and enjoy analogue things. If it’s cooking or playing some music. In my opinion it can be really efficient and satisfying to work with friends or colleagues on ideas which are not limited by the speed of the internet. Offline is not as bad as it seems. 
 
'''What books and music are you enjoying at the moment? What are the works you wouldn’t want anyone to miss? '''Currently I’m into „Come into my kitchen“ which is a book about the early techno scene of frankfurt. It gives a clear image about how and why everything started and how the club „Robert Johnson“ became one of the best in the world. It also topics the quest to create „the“ perfect sound. (You can grab a copy here: http://liveatrobertjohnson.com). The works of Stefan Marx (Illustrator), Salt & Silver (Creators of Travel and Cook Books), Lobster Theremin (Label), Forbidden Planet (Label), Larry Clarke (Director), Massimiliano Pagliara (Musician). I think there is too much worth mentioning.

I'm from Kaarst and would like to stay here for the near future. I like the suburban kind of town and would rather build a house and have a family here than in a big city.. 
 
'''What skills do you bring to the company? How would you want to develop your talents?''' Maybe there isn't one particular skill in wich I'm overwhelmingly good. But I guess you could call me an allrounder :) And I want to develop my talents with computers and servers of course. 
 
'''What bores you to death and what ramps your adrenaline level?''' Professionally I find slow overloaded websites boring. 
What bores and ramps my adrenaline level at the same time are shows like "gossip girl", when my S.O. watches them I go crazy. On the one side I'm bored as hell, because they aren't thrilling. I mean six seasons about relationships of young people who got to much money from their parents, all played by lousy actors... really? 
 
'''What's your current object of desire, and what really moves you?''' Hm, my current object of desire would be, if we stick to material objects, a Ford Mustang Shelby GT 500. But besides that I really want a good house, a large garden. Simply a place where I can live in peace and happiness. Could sound stupid but I'm that kind of guy.. 
 
'''What gadget is indispensable and which application always has a solution?''' My mobile-phone is most important but not indispensable. And I don't have an application that gives me solutions, my father does, his solutions might be more ore less helpful but after all they're solutions. 
 
'''Which website do you visit frequently? Whom do you meet offline?''' Mostly Youtube and 9gag. Youtube, because I don't/can't watch normal TV and youtube has more than enough to watch. 9gag, because between piles of sh*** there are a few flowers which really rise my mood.
I'm meeting my friends of course. I got so many of them my mother stopped memorizing their names. 
 
'''What books and music are you enjoying at the moment?''' Currently I'm reading the Percy Jackson books. Yes they're books for children but I like fantasy and mythology und they are extremely well written.
My favorite music is rock. Mostly Billy Talent, but in my daily playlists are tracks of all genres, rap, jazz, dubstep, R'n'B.
A classic no one should miss Stairway to Heaven, Led Zeppelin, a brilliant song. I play guitar for almost 14 years now, this is still the best song to learn.

'''Was ist dein aktuelles Objekt der Begierde und was bewegt dich wirklich?''' Was mich wirklich bewegt? Meine Heimat, meine Familie und Freunde – vieles davon spielt sich im schönen Volmerswerth am Rheinkilometer 734 ab. Hierzu ein ziemlich passendes Zitat von einem Herrn T.

I come from a small town (most people would call it a village, but we locals would like to believe that it is a small town) in Lithuania. I’m heading towards a very bright future (or just a very bright monitor in front of me).
 
'''What skills do you bring to the company? How would you want to develop your talents?''' Butter smooth animation and childish enthusiasm of course.
I would like to develop my storytelling skills more (make people cry, laugh or just sit in silence for few minutes and then call for their parents and cry and laugh). 
 
'''What’s your current object of desire, and what really moves you?''' What I desire the most is: time – time to do more things. I'm constantly learning to manage my time better and more efficiently.
Honesty is what moves me the most. 
 
'''What bores you to death and what ramps your adrenaline level?''' I’m a day dreamer, many exciting things happen inside my head, so actually I’m never bored.
Only a few times in my life have I ever experienced a real adrenaline rush. Once, while I was drowning as a child in frozen pond, second time happened in Siberian mountains on white water rafting trip (went overboard and was carried away in freezing water for a few kilometers), and my most recent adrenaline experience happened when a car hit my bicycle and I landed with the back of my head on asphalt (had a helmet on – didn’t feel a thing). So probably my adrenaline ramps up when I encounter life threatening situations (or very cold water. Also, when Germany won the world cup, that was extremely exciting for me! 
 
What gadget is indispensable and which application always has a solution?
Pen and paper usually solves a problem, if not - application of hot steamy shower does the job. 
 
'''What website do you visit frequently? Whom do you meet offline?''' Motionographer and icecreamhater for my daily motion design dose. Dribbble and Behance for inspiration and a bit of networking. Little White Lies for cinema news, occasionally BBC World Service.
Offline I meet with Julia (the most beautiful woman in a world and very smart too), Wunjo (big dog), Kreta (small dog), Perro (very loud cat), Agata (same blood) and Lenart, a friend. 
 
'''What books and music are you enjoying at the moment? What are the works you wouldn’t want anyone to miss?'''
Currently I’m reading Stephen King’s Night Shift (1978), a short stories collection that includes such cult classic as Children of Corn, The Ledge, Lawnmower Man and etc.
Lately I can’t get enough of Alex Cameron music, I definitely recommend it (especially live performances are a must see).

And if we talk about recommendations here is a little list.
Music: Bob Dylan, Nick Cave, Suicide, Sixto Rodriguez
Book: Robinson Crusoe, American Gods, Hobbit
Graphic novel: Akira (Katsuhiro Otomo), Maus (Art Spiegelman), Asterios Polyp (David Mazzucchelli)
Movie: Stand by Me, A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, Searching for Sugarman, Only Lovers left Alive

Then moved to Berlin and switched to Social Media at TLGG. The last two years I created loads of beauty stuff as Creative Director at Content Cube, a L’Oréal exclusive agency. Right now, I´m looking for some “more masculine projects” and I´d love to push my film skills to the next aesthetic level. 
 
'''What skills would you bring to the company? How would you want to develop your talents?''' My superpowers are: creating strategic creative umbrellas and connect good single ideas to a holistic concept, staying calm under high stress level, thinking social – concept wise and team oriented. I´d like to develop myself by finding and connecting the right people at Parasol to learn from each other. 
 
'''What bores you to death and what ramps up your adrenaline level?'''People who are just talking about themselves kill my interest. And to ramp my adrenaline frequently I just search for things I´ve never done before. Some weeks ago I started working as a university lecturer and teach “Corporate & Product Branding” at RFH in Cologne. 
 
'''What’s your current object of desire, and what really moves you? ''' To live a life on which I can look back at the age of 80, sitting in my hover rocking chair and hear me saying: “Lucky me, I´ve just been happy.” 
 
'''What gadget is indispensable and which application always has a solution?''' My iWatch has been my most dispensable gadget. I think about buying Alexa, cause even if I love writing I like to find some ways to avoid using my keyboard whole day long. And the most important app for me is Google maps, cause the orientation part is just missing in my brain. 
 
'''Which website do you visit frequently? Whom do you meet offline?''' I like a mix of creative tech stuff and social topics, for example t3n and Edition-F are two of my favorites. My friends here in Düsseldorf I try to meet weekly and as often as I can I visit my favorite people in Berlin. Also important, my daily appointment with Lumi & Nati, my kittens with cuteness overload.
 
 
'''What books and music are you enjoying at the moment?''' I love podcasts. For example “Happy, holy and confident” which is mega mind opening, “Hotel Matze” cause of the inspiring personalities or “Fest und Flauschig” are part of my weekend routine. One of my favorite books is “The Circle” – a future vision about what it means if the whole society acts completely transparent.

I'm pretty curious and love to get to know new things and I'm also really into changes, because only changes help you to develop yourself, in my opinion.

'''What bores you to death and what ramps up your adrenaline level?'''As I don’t use a purse my adrenalin regularly ramps up if once again I have to find my chip cards in a rush. Another talent of mine: to lock myself out of the apartment.

I come from a tranquil village near Paderborn called Lippstadt. After stops in the Sauerland and Ruhr region I stranded in Düsseldorf. I finished a master in photography and was working more than two years as a producer in Düsseldorf lately. My next goal is to explore the island step by step. 
 
'''What skills would you bring to the company? How would you want to develop your talents?''' Intentness, self-dependance and readiness of mind. I won’t lose my organising abilities even in stressful situations. A strong coffee and black humour are my weapons against chaos taking over. Now I’m open to face new adventures – if you don't go forward, you go backwards. 
 
'''What bores you to death and what ramps up your adrenaline level?''' Slow people drive me nuts. I'm almost never bored in my leisure time – and if I that would happen I’d call it luxury. 
 
'''What’s your current object of desire, and what really moves you?'''I have no list of objects of desire. If I want something, then it is a very spontaneous decision from the heart. My list of things that I do not need is definitely longer. 
 
'''What gadget is indispensable and which application always has a solution?'''Of course my mobile – they say a phantom telephone ping is a widespread disease nowadays – so at least I’m not alone. The internet offers pretty much madness, but also most of the time a solution for everything. My laptop is another favorite gadget: With the silver bullet Photoshop I can solve almost any visual problem. 
 
'''Which website do you visit frequently? Whom do you meet offline?''' Facebook and Instagram are probably a lot more than websites. They are the anchor point for social life, stalking instrument and deflection magnet. After the first coffe, ready fore more content, W&V, Lead Digital and Horizont are on my list. Almost forgot Amazon – what would life be without online shopping?
When the batteries of mobile and laptop are empty, I go to the movies, exercise or meet friends. 
 
'''What books and music are you enjoying at the moment? What are the works you wouldn’t want anyone to miss?'''
My ebook is full of crime thrillers. Simon Beckett, Stieg Larsson, Cody McFadyen. Currently I read Sebastian Fitzeks "Noah". My playlist is as wild and colorful as my wardrobe, but especially full of Rock and Alternative. Guitars, drums and a handsome bass player - that is music. And: Everyone should see The Black Keys live.

'''What skills would you bring to the company? How would you want to develop your talents?''' I'm a problem solver and will organise all organisable aspects of a job if that means that it will be done faster and/or better. I think that I can give good advice and sensible and applicable feedback. I hope to gain insights to the workflow of productions, overall improve my qualities and what I can contribute and add technical skills to my toolkit. 
 
'''What bores you to death and what ramps up your adrenaline level?''' I get bored from eating just plain apples of the non-sour kind, but I refuse to do that, so everything is good. 

Working on a project that I'm passionate about is the best feeling. Especially the process of developing an idea is exciting and most rewarding. 
 
'''What’s your current object of desire, and what really moves you? '''Pratone or similar eccentric object-furniture.
I am moved by things done honestly and purposefully and I aim to do things honestly and purposefully myself. 
 
'''What gadget is indispensable and which application always has a solution?''' Guess I'll probably have to go with my smartphone. An application with good enough solutions would be Google Translate: trusted assistant of understanding foreign restaurant menus. 
 
'''What website do you visit frequently? Whom do you meet offline?''' Youtube.com. Home of vine compilations, recipe videos and video essays (actually also the home of dangerous alt-right ideology but let's ignore that for now). 

Offline I meet with friends to cook together, talk each other up, discuss what's close to us and other more abstract things.
 
 
'''What books and music are you enjoying at the moment?''' I'm currently in the middle of Über Fotografie by Susan Sontag while just having finished reading Die helle Kammer by Roland Barthes. I'm a sucker for theoretical texts. I listen to R&B/Soul, electronic music, rap and the occasional film soundtrack but won't go into listing music because there's just too much for any list to feel complete.

Good but long read aka "classic": A History of Western Philosophy by Bertrand Russell.

Furthermore a familiar atmosphere and the team I work with is really important to me.

I was born and raised in Dusseldorf. Since I’ve just been stranded on the island, I’d just like to stay here. 
 
'''What skills do you bring to the company? How would you want to develop your talents?''' I have a penchant for organization, planning and communication. And – who knows what the future will bring? 
 
'''What bores you to death and what ramps your adrenaline level?''' I hate waiting! And I’m also suspicious of people who don’t understand my sarcasm. My adrenaline pumps every time my daughter does something that’s too dangerous in my eyes. And riding in a car too fast... On the positive side – music makes be really happy. 
 
'''What's your current object of desire?''' A garden! 
 
'''What gadget is indispensable and which application always has a solution?''' The weather app and my iPhone. 
 
'''Which website do you visit frequently? Whom do you meet offline?'''Google. My kid, my man, my friends.

Born in Haltern am See raised in Dülmen, probably known for a species which does not exist in any other part of Europe. Wild horses in Merfelder Bruch - a flat and broad land with its own appeal, which Goethe called simply ‚the grandeur of the plain‘. I studied in Münster and worked in Frankfurt, Amsterdam, London, Berlin and Munich. I'm not sure what’s next but I could imagine to live in the sunshine state of California. Not sure if this gonna happen but I pretty much like it on the island. 
 
'''What skills do you bring to the company? How would you want to develop your talents?''' The first contact went through a headhunter but I know the island from this playful ‚Jades‘ website. Years later I sent a spontaneous application. It’s the will. Not the skill. 
 
'''What bores you to death and what ramps your adrenaline level?''' Probably you'll find it out.

'''What books and music are you enjoying at the moment?''' Music keeps me alive. Still listening to my old-school Hip Hop vinyls that I kept from DJing back in the 90s. I like electronic music as well and I am always up for a Sven Väth set first row. The last book I read was Inferno.

I was born in the south of Düsseldorf but meanwhile I’ve made it to Unterbilk. After working as a car salesman, an account manager in a network agency and a project manager in the public sector, I now want to immerse myself completely in the digital world. 
 
'''What skills do you bring to the company? How would you want to develop your talents?''' I love to learn, to organize and to see how things develop. I’m curious about any kind of innovation. I have a variety of interests and hobbies that enable me to view and evaluate things from different angles and to "think outside the box". 
 
'''What bores you to death and what ramps your adrenaline level?''' I am bored or annoyed by any form of wasting time. People walking too slowly in front of me, senseless TV shows or the lack of punctuality in public transport (which also ramps my adrenaline level in a negative way). In a positive way: definitely the mountains. Whether it's snowboarding in winter or climbing and mountaineering in summer – there's nothing that can earth me more and inspire me at the same time. Also, my football club, which is responsible for some of the most emotional moments of my life. 
 
'''What's your current object of desire?'''  A camper van or a camping bus (suitable for everyday use). After a trip through Norway I'm absolutely thrilled. And what moves me? Well, hopefully soon my camping bus. Otherwise my bicycle and since I live directly in the neighborhood: my legs. And if you want to know what really moves me, come over and have a chat… 
 
'''What gadget is indispensable and which application always has a solution?''' "Unfortunately" my smartphone which I use way too often. Otherwise my new cast iron roaster. A real game changer in the kitchen. For solutions I usually ask Google or YouTube but meanwhile also the Parasol Wiki. 
 
'''Which website do you visit frequently? Whom do you meet offline?''' Online: zeit, FAZ, rp-online for general news. t3n, OMR, WUV, Horizont etc. for marketing and digital content. 11Freunde, transfermarkt, kicker etc. for sports news. instagram for entertainment.
Offline: My family that also lives all over Düsseldorf, my aunt's dog Cleo and of course my friends. 
 
'''What books and music are you enjoying at the moment?''' Sadly my reading activities are currently limited to online articles and cookbooks. My favorite classic book is "Steppenwolf" by Hermann Hesse but I also like stories about the great outdoors like "Into Thin Air" by J. Krakauer and stuff like that. Recommendations are welcome. When it comes to music I am quite versatile and I always love to find new tunes, but mostly I'm into the sound from the 60s, 70s and 80s.

But our next big plan is moving back to Düsseldorf, yay :D. 
 
'''What skills do you bring to the company? How would you want to develop your talents?''' Growing up with the internet, spending a lot of time online and having witnessed about every Social Media platform there is and was, I'll try my best to support the Social Media team with my knowledge. In the past I've had quite some contacts with community management, influencer relations, content production as well as internal and external communications and CMS maintenance.
I'd love to be able to bundle all my experience and sharpen my expertise. 
 
'''What bores you to death and what ramps your adrenaline level?'''What bores me to death? Repetitive days, months, decades of doing the same - without any improvement, without any change. There's no progress without trying something new. And no fun.
But I love being creative and I always get pumped up when a simple or stupid idea suddenly turns into a rolling stone and a splendid materialisation. 
 
'''What's your current object of desire, and what really moves you?'''' I'm moved by good books, well written words and good coffee. Also by music and lyrics and by awesome scenery, as well as good food, especially well-made cinnamon rolls!
On a 3 week road trip through Australia I licked blood and now I cannot wait to plan my next road trip, be it Australia, Canada or the Tuscany.
 
 
'''What gadget is indispensable and which application always has a solution?''' I will never leave home without my smartphone - it's really become indispensable for me and a great tool to gather everything necessary in one place.
I'm also a huge supporter of collective intelligence, so for me the applications that always have a solution would be google and twitter. 
 
'''Which website do you visit frequently? Whom do you meet offline?''' Twitter and YouTube are my main sources for news as well as satirical comments to said news.
I'm also a sucker for beautiful pictures on Instagram. Whom do I meet online? This question made me think a bit. Let's say my boyfriend (duh, we're living together, so that's obvious), my best girlfriends from school whom I still love very dearly (15 years of friendship and counting, yay!), as well as my friends from dance school (where I used to work part-time). 
 
'''What books and music are you enjoying at the moment?''' I recently fell in love with the Percy Jackson/Heroes of Olympus series (Rick Riordan), but don't take my word as a recommendation for great literature. I just happen to LOVE young adults novel and this series is especially good since it combines sharp humour with mythological topics. I also started reading Six of Crows (Leigh Bardugo) and A Court of Thorns and Roses (Sarah J. Maas), another two young adult novels.

A super interesting read is The Circle by Dave Eggers, which deals with some kind of Social Media Dystopia, in my opinion a really relevant topic.

I would always recommend people to read the following: Norwegian Wood (Haruki Murakami), Memoires of a Geisha (Arthur Golden), die Stadt der träumenden Bücher (Water Moers), Child Thief (Gerald Brom) and The Humans (Matt Haig).
As for classics, I will never get tired of reading Peter Pan, Little Women, 1984 and of course the Harry Potter series.

... After overwhelming you with my bad taste in literature, I decided it's best not to spam you with my everlasting love for music (especially Alternative, Indie, Pop and songs with beautiful lyrics.)
If you are still interested, don't be shy to ask me in person - I won't bite. Often.

I am from one of the oldest cultural cities called Alexandria, Egypt, which used to be the Paris of the Middle East before the 1980s. Unfortunately, it is no longer the place it once was. One needs to pierce its many veils in order to perceive its Mediterranean, multicultural, dust-covered beauty. Alexandria was the place where I grew up and became an adult. Cologne is the place where I got to know my adult self. My journey ahead, in this city, is still unknown, but the prospects are exhilarating.. 
 
'''What skills do you bring to the company? How would you want to develop your talents?''' My skills are my passion for editing, film, pictorial nature and music. I would develop these skills through the rigorous, and creative, aesthetic work ethic that this creative one stop shop/film production encourages and expects. 
 
'''What bores you to death and what ramps your adrenaline level?''' I am incredibly bored by superficiality; fake people and flakey conversations. My adrenaline spikes and my interest peaks whenever I encounter work by sincerity and a good heart.Thus, I naturally gravitate to the beauty in art, dance, music, and film.. 
 
'''What's your current object of desire, and what really moves you?''' My objects of desire are not material. I am moved by that which is beautiful in nature, architecture, interior design, dance, poetry, food, music, art, books, etc. In other words I am an Aesthete. I also like the idea of combining different media, sceneries and sounds to create something that might inspire people. Besides the real, some of us tend to see surreal scenes in their heads or dreams; The surreal, in the form of edited films, can be incredibly inspiring as well. When sound and image are brought to work in special ways, they elicit physiological responses, the most important of which are those goose bumps we sometimes get when a work touches us inexplicably. These are powerful moments for me, and I believe they are for others too. And these moments are products of humility, sincerity, and originality –three attributes I look for and value tremendously in both people and their productions. 
 
'''What gadget is indispensable and which application always has a solution?''' I try to train myself to renounce the material as much as I can. The only gadget I could hardly do without is some kind of music player. The rest are frills. 
 
'''Which website do you visit frequently? Whom do you meet offline?''' Vimeo.com, nitch.com and nowness.com I meet my dance mates during the week. On weekends, I love meeting up with close friends in cafes over coffee and banana bread. I also relish the breeze of summer nights with good company. As of late, I too often find myself falling asleep on the couch.. 
 
'''What books and music are you enjoying at the moment? What are the works you wouldn’t want anyone to miss?''' I listen to Lambert x, Ben Lukas Boysen, James Horner, Nils Frahm, Redspencer,
L';Impératrice,, Men I trust, Public Memory (thank Alexandre), Agar Agar, Somfay, Lockhart, Paradis, Cigarettes after sex, Soft hair, Metronomy, Au revoir Simone, Small Black, Sebastien Tellier, Manor, Röyskopp, Oum Kalthoum, Mashrou3 Leila,
the list is endless. There are many talented persons these days. Lately, I enjoy reading books that require deep and critical thinking, such as “40 Rules of Love” by Elif Shafak (Don’t miss that one!); “the Essentials of Sufism” by Robert Frager and James Fadiman, although I do not fully agree with their selfless theories because human beings are not designed like angels; “A Thousand Splendid Suns” by Khaled Hosseini; works by Khalil Gibran; and a mysterious, metaphorical Arabic book full of beautiful aesthesis, which is misinterpreted by the majority and misused for political ends in my opinion. Of this last book: I read between its lines once every year of my life, in an effort to understand its magical logic, but also to think and rethink its messages according to the modern world we now live in.

= Introduction =
== Why is there an EBU R128 standard? ==
You know when you’ve been watching a movie on TV and the commercials come in and suddenly they are screechingly loud in comparison? And how annoying that is? That’s because up until recently broadcast TV and radio measured how loud things were by the loudest peak in the material, and made sure nothing went above the maximum level by the simple expedient of sticking a limiter at the end of their signal chain. Now this sort-of worked for radio stations that were mainly playing pop music, but was dreadful for TV. Big-budget movies need to have a high dynamic range because they have many quiet parts (e.g. conversations between characters) and many loud parts (explosions, engines revving, gunfights etc.). So just tightly compressing them would seriously mess up the sound. This meant that movies sounded much quieter than everything else, especially much quieter than the commercials in between.

== How to double check if you're using a correct EBU R128 mix ==
Drag and Drop one or even more files onto the icon of the application to start the screening.
The speed of the screening depends on the file size and the server connection if you are connected to the server.

The tool will add a green dot next to the filename in the Apple finder for a positive test.
For a negative test it will create a red dot and also a report which will appear as a text file.
This report can be send to the deliverer to give proper information of the issue.

I come originally from Haldern and lived in Münster before moving to Düsseldorf. I studied English and Dutch. The last four years I’ve been working as a social media manager in a start-up company. Far future plans: Spending the fall of my life in a beautiful home in Hackney or Shoreditch. 
 
'''What skills do you bring to the company? How would you want to develop your talents?''' I can roll my tongue. My baking skills are great. Unfortunately cooking is not so well – but this was not the question. In my job I’m really passionate about creating the best content for the target audience. I speak fluent Dutch. You can look forward to learning many fun new words. 
 
'''What bores you to death and what ramps your adrenaline level?''' I’m fed up with boring social media content.
My adrenaline level ramps up when I’m thinking of flying. In a very negative way. 
 
'''What's your current object of desire, and what really moves you?''' Currently nothing material. I longed for vacation and I went to the French Atlantic Coast – before starting the island life here. 
 
'''What gadget is indispensable and which application always has a solution?''' My mobile. 24/7 on Insta, Snapchat and Facebook. Of course ONLY for professional reasons. For that I also play PokémonGo. 
 
'''Which website do you visit frequently? Whom do you meet offline?'''thisisforartlovers.de – for reading my own posts – hihi.
One can find me also on [https://www.instagram.com/ms_svensson/ Insta]. Offline I like meeting new people who inspire me. And of course my friends. 
 
'''What books and music are you enjoying at the moment? What are the works you wouldn’t want anyone to miss?''' Ok, I expose myself: I’m a Potterhead. No idea how many times I've read the books and watched the films. But I also I like to read Ken Follett, Jussi Adler-Olsen, Zadie Smith, Orwell or Shakespeare.
Talking about music: I'm not really rarely open to new ideas – which I consider myself a bit uncool. I have my favorite bands for ages: Interpol, Alt-J, Daughter, The National, Editors, The Cure and Florence. Oh – and Roxette. My vice.

'''What skills would you bring to the company? How would you want to develop your talents?''' I look forward to new colleagues, challenges, new tools and exciting products. I throw in creativity and attention to detail when it comes to client requests. I would like to benefit from a close exchange with our colleagues to improve my skills. 
 
'''What bores you to death and what ramps up your adrenaline level?''' I get bored of superficiality, monologues and traffic jams. Chaos, no Nutella at home, empty batteries on the one hand travelling in general on the other hand affect my adrenaline level.

It's already pretty close to water - at least I can hear the horns of the big ships on the elbe from my bedroom. Could be warmer though and less rainy...;-).

Books - I am reading "der goldene Handschuh" by Heinz Strunk. Love Paul Auster stuff, too.
Things I wouldn't want to miss have to do with Music: I wouldn't want to miss the tunes of Stevie Wonder or Frank Sinatra.

I grew up right outside of Cologne, went to Australia for a year (claaassic), Cologne, Hamburg, now being Detween Dorf and Cologne.

 
'''What skills do you bring to the company? How would you want to develop your talents?''' I think I’ll bring a lot of empathy, honesty, interest and probably oddness.
What I would like to develop more and more would be my social intercourses. I’d like to be able to convince, impress and sort of capture or attract people very fast with what I say, how I speak and act. And by that I’d love to understand people's messages and statements by either digging their body language or reading between the lines. 
 
'''What’s your current object of desire, and what really moves you?''' The plants in my flat. Someday there has to be a garden!
What else moves me might be my boyfriend’s past in the fashion industry. Somehow it thrills me to see what’s going on, what’s new and what’s next. He introduces me to very talented and passionate people and I’m getting to know so much about what’s behind that business. The whole thing moves me because it’s so untouchable and big!
With that what else affects me is when people are able to bring through their dreams and passions. In any way. Out of any living condition. 
 
'''What gadget is indispensable and which application always has a solution?''' Google and the Synonyme Woxikon, haha…
And a good camera! 
 
'''What website do you visit frequently? Whom do you meet offline?''' Besides several online shopping websites where I keep clothes on storage until I can afford them and the livestream of WDR 4, I frequently visit Dazed Magazine, Hypebeast and a few websites or blogs of artists, designers or other creative minds.
I meet my friends as often as I can and see my parents and sister quite a lot! I have a walking dog (an athletic Vizsla called Champ) and I'm always up to get to know new people and drag them into my circle of friends. 
 
'''What books and music are you enjoying at the moment? What are the works you wouldn’t want anyone to miss? '''
I recently started reading „Silicon Valley“ (C. Keese), paused and read „Das Café am Rande der Welt" (J. Strelecky) and went on with the Valley which are pretty much completely opposite books. Both inspire me a lot though and the mixture of both perspectives might be cool. My favorite book ever is „Stories We Could Tell“ by Tony Parsons. The story takes place in one single night in London 1977 during a wicked time of music and journalism.
When it comes to music you can find me somewhere between Italian disco, trap, rap and Queen. Just please stay away with reggae…
Classics? All of my mom’s and dad’s favorites, the stuff they made me read and listen to. That’s what it all started with!

I come from a little village near Osnabrück and I just genuinely hated growing up there. Nothing to do all day, but watching cows turning grass into poop!
I always saw myself somewhere in a bigger city. I never really felt at home in Germany, I was always drawn to the idea of living in England. It’s still one of my biggest goals.
Career wise applying for the job at Parasol was a big step into a better direction. Scary, but mostly exciting. I guess you gotta risk it to get the biscuit!

'''What skills do you bring to the company? How would you want to develop your talents?''' „I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you“. Nah – just kidding, but A+ if you know which movie this is from.
I would say my Lettering skills are something not everyone’s familiar with nor has the experience or the ambition to do so. I am in love with the individual aspect of it. Creating something new and from scratch, without using fonts that already exist. I like. To be honest, I want to know everything! But If I had to choose I’d like to get more knowledge in the fields of web & app design. I always had a thing for the digital and interactive side of design, especially coming from a print background. But I never really had the chance to get into it more and in depth.
 
 
'''What bores you to death and what ramps your adrenaline level?''' Bad movies with horrible story lines and especially with bad dubs! There‘s nothing worse than a bad voice actor killing the great performance of an actor. That‘s probably one of my biggest pet peeves. I only watch movies or series in their original language, no exceptions.
Ramping up my adrenalin: FANGIRLING! When a new season starts or a new movie comes out. Writing and discussing theories with friends about what could happen next just gives me life. I mean Rey is definitely a reincarnation of Anakin Skywalker!!
Well written characters. Interesting character development. Fandoms and the devotion that they put into their fan art, cosplays etc.
Also people who know more than me, especially about work. Just feed me your knowledge!
 

 
'''What's your current object of desire, and what really moves you?''' My guitar...always! I am most certainly not the best singer songwriter, but there’s nothing better than writing a new song at 4 am.
New clothes! Sounds superficial, but defining myself trough my looks and clothes is a big part of me. It‘s not important to look pretty, it‘s the part where I just can be who I want to be without questioning myself. I have this particular image of me in my head and I‘m not going to stop until I get it. I just want to be! Just be. 

 
'''What gadget is indispensable?''' Toothbrush! 

 
'''Which website do you visit frequently?''' Netflix & Tumblr. Yeah, I know you probably expected a fancy design website, but nope just that. I need my daily dose of series and movies. Tumblr in particular is a great platform for new and interesting things. You can basically find everything you like! I learned a lot over the past years, by simply reading stories about people on Tumblr. You gain insight of so many different mindsets. That‘s pretty interesting. Aaand it‘s also the best platform for fangirling there is! Period. 

 
'''What books and music are you enjoying at the moment? What are the works you wouldn’t want anyone to miss?''' Harry Potter! Always! I listen to the audio books (only read by Rufus Beck) at least twice a year since I was 8. And yes it never gets old. Besides Harry Potter, I enjoy reading a lot of Fantasy. Especially Terry Pratchett. His version of Death is by far my favourite character of all time. The title of my portfolio is basically based on this particular character. I am really into everything from the late 60s, 70s, 80s (Very important! Best time for music and movies. Well, at least the most cheesy ones): Classic Rock, Nintendocore, Thrash Metal...
From Careless Whispers from Wham! (and yes I liked this song before Deadpool came out) to Disciple from Slayer. I always say „I like everything, except for the things I don’t like!“ Favorite song at the moment: Larkin Poe - Sucker Puncher.
Classics: If you‘re into video game themed music and all that kinda stuff and you haven’t listened to The Protomen or The Magic Sword. You’re defo missing out big time! The Protomen based their whole music on the 1980s game Mega Man. Psst – try Light up the Night from The Protmen. You’re welcome.

Originally from a small village in Lower Saxony, located between cornfields and the mesmerizing noise of the A2. Currently headed for losing the Junior in Junior Producer in the near future. 
 
'''What skills do you bring to the company? How would you want to develop your talents?''' Massive passion for film. Goal-oriented, organized workflow. Cheerful, even when things get hectic. Hoping to participate in as many splendid projects as possible. 
 
'''What bores you to death and what ramps your adrenaline level?''' Coordinating and billing extras kills me. Small, rock’n’roll-esque car shoots make me love my job. 
 
'''What's your current object of desire, and what really moves you?''' An agave green, late 1960’s BMW 2002ti. Which is also what I hope will be moving me in the very near future. 
 
'''What gadget is indispensable and which application always has a solution?''' Very oldschool - pen and notebook, simply because it never runs out of battery and it always keeps track of the things I may lose sight of. 
 
'''What website do you visit frequently? Whom do you meet offline?''' Pitchfork & Youtube. Among all the kitten stuff there is some surprisingly interesting content to discover, i. e. Every frame a painting, Lessons from the Screenplay, Now you see it, Petrolicious. 
 
'''What books and music are you enjoying at the moment? What are the works you wouldn’t want anyone to miss?''' It seems like as I get older so does the music I enjoy. As for the past few weeks I’ve excessively listened to Funkadelic, Buddy Miles & Led Zeppelin, Kendrick & Oddisee when it comes to more recent stuff. In therms of essential classics… I guess if I had to pick 3 records to the notorious deserted island I’d say Miles Davis – Kind of Blue, Jimi Hendrix – Are you experienced & Bob Dylan – The freewheelin’ Bob Dylan.
Oh and Books. I must admit that currently I’m reading nothing but the newspaper. Last book was Homo Faber though, loved it.

I've worked freelance for the past three month after deciding to drop out of congaz Berlin. I used that time to take care of my network and to orientate on the ocean of possibilities looking for a nice island to land on. 
 
'''What skills do you bring to the company? How would you want to develop your talents?''' Besides my obvious skills as a producer I also worked as a copywriter for about two years at Jung von Matt, BBDO and Media Consulta. I also used to write and perform songs and I directed a commercial that was picked as creation of the day by W&V back in 2006. And I worked on the client side as an Inhouse Producer at the McFIT Group.
I want to continue sharpening my skills in all disciplines and become a complete producer for animation, film, photo, TV, Online, everything. And I'm interested in how to take care of palm trees. 
 
'''What bores you to death and what ramps your adrenaline level?''' I'm not good at waiting. Not at all. One of the worst things is people standing and not walking on an elevator. On the way downstairs. And blocking it so you can't even pass them. My adrenaline is ramped by a good workout, by going 270km/h on the Autobahn and by the day before a shoot. Oh, and certain sneakers make me just fall into "shut up and take my money" mode. 
 
'''What's your current object of desire, and what really moves you?''' Besides new tattoos and good coffee, which I'm always looking for, it's a Sony a7R II and that super sleek new 13" MacBook Pro in dark-grey. And then there's this Louis Vuitton backback, the Christopher PM. I mean, it has my name! 
 
'''What gadget is indispensable and which application always has a solution?''' Definitely my iPhone. I do anything with it. When it comes to apps there's not that one that has it all. A nice app is the AJA DataCalc. You how many hours you shoot and select the codec and resolution and it tells you what data size you create. The Dropbox app makes your phone or iPad a scanner. You take a photo of a document and the app makes it look like an actual scan and safe it as either a PDF or a jpg.
When it comes to post production Deadline has some nice automation features. 
 
'''Which website do you visit frequently? Whom do you meet offline?''' I'm into Instagram. I also started Fashion Blogging with a friend who is a photographer. Besides that it's slashcam.de, Horizont.net, highsnobiety.com and Spiegel.de Offline I meet my gym as often as I can. Or my cousin and friends. 
 
'''What books and music are you enjoying at the moment? What are the works you wouldn’t want anyone to miss?''' Books aren't for me, I'm the film guy. But reading the Wired is always a good idea. My Spotify has been taken over by the new Kendrick Lamar Album "DAMN". Really worth listening. A classic in my collection would be "El Camino" by The Black Keys. Just great music that never gets old or boring.

I was born and grown up in my beloved Rome but have lived in Milan, Copenhagen and Munich during the last 8 years.
I am proud of my strong international background and I am really looking forward for this new start in Berlin The city feels very close to me because of it’s a great social and cultural melting pot. 
 
'''What skills do you bring to the company? How would you want to develop your talents?''' I consider myself very communicative and throughout my recent experience in consulting I have developed strong analytical, strategic and organizational skills. However, I have been missing a lot the creative side as I've always seen myself pretty much as 50/50 analytical-creative.
Now I strongly feel the need to set free my creative impulses and I'm pretty sure Parasol Island is the right place to do so. 
 
'''What bores you to death and what ramps your adrenaline level?''' I’m generally bored by lack of diversity. For me it's important that things, tasks and especially people are diverse, as I really like to constantly receive new inputs.
That's also why adrenaline kicks especially in for me when I travel or discover new place. 
 
'''What's your current object of desire, and what really moves you?''' My current object of desire is a new Polaroid. While authentic passion is what triggers me the most. I'm a very practical person so if I believe in something I will somehow find a way to make it happen. 
 
'''What gadget is indispensable?''' I have a sort of diary I keep always with me, where I like to write notes, thoughts, ideas or include whatever detail I capture along the way. 
 
'''What website do you visit frequently? Whom do you meet offline?''' I'm really passionate about fashion, photography and particularly about the social and cultural influence of the most different creative expressions, so I spend a lot of time on i-D.vice.com and dazeddigital.com for new daily inspiration;
The people I appreciate the most are those who have their own authentic opinions and are not afraid to stick to their vision, while at the same time manage to always have fun and never take themselves too seriously.. 
 
'''What books and music are you enjoying at the moment? What are the works you wouldn’t want anyone to miss?''' Currently I‘m listening a lot to techno but also really enjoy more chilled/tropical tracks. Recent readings include The Dice Man by Luke Rhinehart, On the Road by Jack Kerouac and Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell. Concerning the classics I have always been a lot into British artists: David Bowie, Queen, The Beatles, Oasis and Amy Winehouse are all among my favorites.
My must-read: Le Petit Prince.

'''Was liest und hörst du momentan, und welches Standardwerk möchtest du nicht missen?'''Leider bin ich letzter Zeit nicht zum lesen gekommen. Nicht gut. Brauche also mal ein paar Empfehlungen. Ich liebe gute Popmusik – höre ich fast täglich. Standardwerk: Beethovens 7.

Ich komme aus Maine, USA. I want to go anywhere my life takes me. As for a career, I specialize in the conceptual design of communication. Ich wurde gerne in diese Richtung weiter gehen: Mehr Konzeption und mit einem ein guten Team arbeiten. 
 
'''Welche Fähigkeiten bringst auf die Insel mit, und wohin möchtest du dein Talent entwickeln?''' In university I was taught the importance of perfect print design. Mein Karriere war aber nur digital ;). I bring a balance between a traditional Art Director & Digital Concept Developer. I would like to blend these two personalities further while being able to fully explain concepts in German as I do in English. 
 
'''Was langweilt dich zu Tode und was lässt deinen Adrenalinpegel steigen?''' Ich kann nicht über etwas denken das mir langweilt: Vielleicht, people that talk about their cats. Adrenalin: Gute Live-Musik, Punk. 
 
'''Was ist dein aktuelles Objekt der Begierde und was bewegt dich wirklich?''' This is a heavy question... ich will, dass jeden Design oder Konzept, dass ich mache einen Aha-Effekt erzeugt. Was bewegt mich: Wenn die normalen Menschen diese Moment spüren. 
 
'''Welches Gadget ist unentbehrlich und welche Applikation hat immer eine Lösung parat?''' My laptop is a must-have: I love to travel and work in different environments, it helps with inspiration. As for applications I am a vector junkie, also denke ich, ich muss Illustrator sagen. 
 
'''Welcher Domain stattest du täglich einen Besuch ab und wem gerne in echt?''' This changes often: It is between Gizmodo, Awwwards and Facebook. As for a person I would like to meet David Kelley of Ideo and Standford University. 
 
'''Was liest und hörst du momentan, und welches Standardwerk möchtest du nicht missen?''' Ich bin keine großer Leser, aber momentan steht das Gewinner Buch vom D&AD von 1980 something neben meinem Bett.
Was ich höre: Ein Mischling aus Punk und Hip-Hop. Die letzte Woche waren das: The copywrites, Feine Sahne Fischfilet, Madlib Mixes und Joey Bad$$. Welches Standardwerk ich nicht missen möchte: das weiß ich noch nicht.

|| '''Woher kommst du und wohin willst du?''' Ich komme aus einem winzig kleinen Dorf in Südhessen, aus dem ich erfolgreich erst nach Unterfranken, und nun hier nach Düsseldorf geflohen bin! Wo ich hin will? Am liebsten würde ich sofort wieder nach Taiwan reisen – ich hab mein Herz an diese wunderschöne Insel verloren. Bis dahin finde ich es aber auch hier in Düsseldorf ganz fabelhaft.. 
 
'''Was bringst du mit auf die Insel und wohin möchtest du dein Talent entwickeln?''' Ich liebe das Social Web und habe bereits in meinem alten Job als Social Media Managerin gearbeitet und blogge schon seit vielen Jahren. Ich bin schon ganz gespannt, was ich hier noch so alles dazulernen kann. 
 
'''Was langweilt dich zu Tode und was lässt deinen Adrenalinpegel steigen?''' Mein gesamtes Studium war so aufregend wie ein paar gestrickte Socken. Ich fühle mich in der Arbeitswelt viel, viel wohler als an der Hochschule! Gedrosseltes mobiles Internet macht mich rasend. Ernsthaft: wir haben 2015 – was soll das? Außerdem: das Ende der HBO-Serie "True Blood". (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ Sprecht mich lieber nicht darauf an. 
 
'''Was ist dein aktuelles Objekt der Begierde und was bewegt dich wirklich?''' Ich bin schon ewig auf der Suche nach einer neuen guten (Spiegelreflex? System?) Kamera – gar nicht so leicht! Was mich bewegt? Ich mich selbst jedenfalls viel zu wenig. ;) Guter Vorsatz: Mehr Sport! 
 
'''Welches Gadget ist unentbehrlich und welche Applikation hat immer eine Lösung parat?''' Neben meinem iPhone liebe ich auch meine PSVita, meine Playstations und meinen N3DS. Die beste App ist für mich Twitter: #Followerpower ftw! 
 
'''Welcher Domain stattest du täglich einen Besuch ab und wem gerne in echt?''' Ich bin täglich auf Instagram und diversen Blogs unterwegs. In echt würde ich meine beiden Minischweine Sammi und Bruno (ja, auch mit >100kg ist so ein Schwein noch "mini"!) gern häufiger sehen. 
 
'''Was liest und hörst du momentan, und welches Standardwerk möchtest du nicht missen?''' Ich lese aktuell "Nach dem Beben" von Haruki Murakami und kann seine gesamte Bibliografie nur empfehlen. Großartige Literatur! Vor allem "Tanz mit dem Schafsmann" gefiel mir extrem gut. Musikalisch warte ich gerade auf das neue Album von Muse und tröste mich während dessen mit Nerd-Rapper Rockstah.

Geographically speaking, I was born and raised in Guatemala and have been living in Germany for the past 4 years. Professionally speaking, I come from a Technical and Customer Support role at an Amazon Subsidiary by day and a Web Development and Design student by night.I am headed into becoming a full time Web Developer through a Web Development traineeship at Parasol. . 
 
'''What skills do you bring to the company? How would you want to develop your talents?''' I can make a killer Guacamole. Oh, I also have some web development and design knowledge, which I look forward to use in future projects. I want to develop strategies for writing better and more efficient code, as well as to learn how to think strategically in projects. 
 
'''What bores you to death and what ramps your adrenaline level?''' What bores me? I guess anything that has to do with waiting. For example, waiting in line, waiting for the delayed U-bahn, waiting for a slow website to load. What ramps my adrenaline? A good song, looking at a cool website (like this one), superhero movies, meeting friends for a drink or two, reading funny t-rex jokes, playing cageball, dutch interior design (I know, that ́s a bit weird), dancing Lindy Hop, building stuff (with code or with real life materials), and, as cheesy as it sounds, I love learning new things.. 
 
'''What's your current object of desire, and what really moves you?''' Um, I think it would be cool to have an Apple Watch with a GPS tracker for running and through which I could listen to Spotify offline without having to carry my phone. Maybe Apple’s September release introduces this...
What moves me? Traveling. Seeing different cultures and ways of doing things fascinates me. I feel inspired by nature. 
 
'''What gadget is indispensable and which application always has a solution?''' My noise cancelling headphones are indispensable to me. And not much of a gadget, but it is something I definitely cannot live without, are my glasses. I’m a bit blind.
I wouldn’t say just one application has the solution to everything. Although, Mr. Google is very good at trying to achieve that. So, for life stuff: My weather app (especially in Germany, one day could be summer and the next could be winter), Spotify and Mr. Google. For serious matters: Stackoverflow. 
 
'''Which website do you visit frequently? Whom do you meet offline?'''I have several favorite websites: YouTube (I follow channels like Casey Neistat and DevTips), I read tons of articles that drop in my inbox through newsletters I have subscribed to. For example: Free Code Camp, Codrops, Medium and FrontEnd Focus.
Offline I go dancing Lindy Hop with my Fiancée, I play cage ball, I meet friends at pubs or restaurants. 
 
'''What books and music are you enjoying at the moment? What are the works you wouldn’t want anyone to miss?''' I am currently reading The Talent Code by Daniel Coyle. I am very versatile with music. I pretty much listen to anything and everything. I go from salsa to schlager, from swing to rap and everything in between. Yesterday I was really hooked on Eminem, today I am listening to Britney Spears' new album (I feel a bit embarrassed, but I was curious to hear what her new sound was like).
Classics? In music I am a big fan of the 90’s. I would say one of my all time favorites is Changes by Tupac. Now for books, in literature I really love the story of Dorian Gray from Oscar Wilde. Now from a more recent time period, I would highly recommend So Good They Can’t Ignore you by Cal Newport.

Adrenalin ramping in a positive way: Good concerts, animal videos, Capri Sonne and parachute jumping....

Woanders hin will ich schon, aber dann eher für Reisen. Nord- und Südamerika am liebsten. 
 
'''Was langweilt dich zu Tode und was lässt deinen Adrenalinpegel steigen?''' Lange alleine Auto fahren. Voll öde. Mein Adrenalinpegel steigt ordentlich bei nem guten Film oder ner guten Serie. Ich sag nur Game of Thrones Staffel 4 Folge 8. 
 
'''Was ist dein aktuelles Objekt der Begierde und was bewegt dich wirklich?''' Eine selbst gestaltete New Era Cap von newerabyyou.com wäre schon ziemlich sweet.

I’m originally from Bad Kreuznach, a great wine region on the Nahe river. I enjoy the country lifestyle and hanging out with my close friends. But now I’m counting down the days until I join the island and dive into the big city life. 
 
'''What skills do you bring to the company? How would you want to develop your talents?''' I’m reliable, organized, goal-oriented and love to work in a friendly, collaborative team. I hope to work across many different projects so I can learn from my peers and build on my skills. 
 
'''What bores you to death and what ramps your adrenaline level?''' To be honest – waiting. Concerning those little things in life. For example waiting for people, standing in a line is not my favourite thing to do. Therefore, I love punctuality!
Especially traveling ramps my adrenaline level. I love to discover beautiful places and explore new cultures. Actually when the airplane takes off and I know it is a start of a new adventure. But also good interior design. Thats why I was totally impressed by the interior of the office in Düsseldorf which fits perfectly to the charm of the old factory

'''What gadget is indispensable and which application always has a solution?''' My glasses, without them I can’t see a lot (good thing I don’t wear any in this photo...) as well as my jewelry, without them I feel naked. Also my headphones are an essential to relax when I’m on the go..

In real life I love to catch up friends, hang out with them in Frankfurt, have a nice evening with good food, wine and even better conversations or just relax and watch series. 
 
'''What books and music are you enjoying at the moment?''' Anything from indie, alternative to electronic music. I love to go to small live concerts but I also enjoy celebrating a night out with my friends and good techno. Currently I’m reading “Unorthodox“ by Deborah Feldman – an autobiographical memoir of a young Jewish woman’s escape from a religious sect. But I also like to read novels or thrillers sometimes.

Going with the flow can be pretty boring. I love to ride my bike in the city. Fast. Ignoring red lights on crossroads (sometimes, haha). Riding close to objects. Pushing your adrenaline level can be real fun. 
 
'''What’s your current object of desire, and what really moves you?''' To beat the climb of the infamous Mont Ventoux this month. Makin’ moves moves me.   
 
'''What gadget is indispensable and which application always has a solution?''' My technics 1210er are indispensable. I can trust them and they will run forever.
There is an app called “Streichholz ziehen” If you don’t find a solution – grab a “Streichholz”. 
 
'''Which website do you visit frequently? Whom do you meet offline?''' Honestly, vimeo.com is the place to go. Sometimes it’s really hard to keep updated because so many new videos are uploaded every day. But a perfect day should start and end with a nice video which reminds us of the reason why we’re working in this field of work. Cause we simply love beautiful things. I love to meet friends in personal. All day long we’re staring at displays whether it’s a computer or cellphone display. It’s a refreshing feeling to turn it off and enjoy analogue things. If it’s cooking or playing some music. In my opinion it can be really efficient and satisfying to work with friends or colleagues on ideas which are not limited by the speed of the internet. Offline is not as bad as it seems. 
 
'''What books and music are you enjoying at the moment? What are the works you wouldn’t want anyone to miss? '''Currently I’m into „Come into my kitchen“ which is a book about the early techno scene of frankfurt. It gives a clear image about how and why everything started and how the club „Robert Johnson“ became one of the best in the world. It also topics the quest to create „the“ perfect sound. (You can grab a copy here: http://liveatrobertjohnson.com). The works of Stefan Marx (Illustrator), Salt & Silver (Creators of Travel and Cook Books), Lobster Theremin (Label), Forbidden Planet (Label), Larry Clarke (Director), Massimiliano Pagliara (Musician). I think there is too much worth mentioning.

Coming from the mountains deep in the south of Germany, I’m headed wherever it takes me to learn and evolve to get better at what I love to do. 
 
'''What skills do you bring to the company? How would you want to develop your talents?''' I bring a diverse skill set in both concept and production which I’ve adopted during my dual studies and freelance work. I’d like to develop my skills in cross-medial conception and get a better understanding of the processes of big campaigns.
 
 
'''What bores you to death and what ramps up your adrenaline level?''' Watching TV, waste of time. 
The moment you finally step up to present your ideas to the client 
 
'''What’s your current object of desire, and what really moves you?''' A BMW R nine T motorbike, to calmly cruise the mountain roads where I come from. 
What moves and motivates me most is the desire to learn and evolve, and a certain curiosity to understand how things work and why people do what they do. 
 
'''What gadget is indispensable and which application always has a solution?''' My bose mini speaker, music is the easiest and best way to connect to people. 
None, nothing always has a solution, you need to search for it. 
 
'''What website do you visit frequently? Whom do you meet offline?''' TED.com, they have awesome talks on a lot of topics. 
My friends to do sports or go for drinks at a bar together, and my Belgian girlfriend of course. 
 
'''What books and music are you enjoying at the moment? What are the works you wouldn’t want anyone to miss? '''
The books of Jussi Adler-Olsen, he manages to shape the personalities of the characters perfectly. For music my taste is quite wide, everything from classic music to deep house. Two classics would be „Nostos“ from Jean-Michel Blais and „Sorry I’m late“ from Kollektiv Turmstrasse.

'''What’s your current object of desire, and what really moves you?''' I'm moving myself. I don't necessarily need an object of desire to be able to achieve something. The true goals and motivation naturally come from inside. But I love team work and achieving common goals together makes even more fun than becoming the desired objects just for myself.

'''What website do you visit frequently? Whom do you meet offline?''' Poker-verband.berlin as I'm playing in the second Berlin's Pokerleague. My teammates and friends are the people I most often meet offline, this is also my hobby and what "ramps my adrenaline level". 
 
'''What books and music are you enjoying at the moment? What are the works you wouldn’t want anyone to miss? '''
I must admit, I read mostly blogs, or watch TED talks, but the recent book I read on vacations was quite cool. It was a biography of Elon Musk and I think it could be interesting for many people. My taste in music is so wide that one could say I have no taste at all… I can enjoy very different things.

I'm from Kaarst and would like to stay here for the near future. I like the suburban kind of town and would rather build a house and have a family here than in a big city.. 
 
'''What skills do you bring to the company? How would you want to develop your talents?''' Maybe there isn't one particular skill in wich I'm overwhelmingly good. But I guess you could call me an allrounder :) And I want to develop my talents with computers and servers of course. 
 
'''What bores you to death and what ramps your adrenaline level?''' Professionally I find slow overloaded websites boring. 
What bores and ramps my adrenaline level at the same time are shows like "gossip girl", when my S.O. watches them I go crazy. On the one side I'm bored as hell, because they aren't thrilling. I mean six seasons about relationships of young people who got to much money from their parents, all played by lousy actors... really? 
 
'''What's your current object of desire, and what really moves you?''' Hm, my current object of desire would be, if we stick to material objects, a Ford Mustang Shelby GT 500. But besides that I really want a good house, a large garden. Simply a place where I can live in peace and happiness. Could sound stupid but I'm that kind of guy.. 
 
'''What gadget is indispensable and which application always has a solution?''' My mobile-phone is most important but not indispensable. And I don't have an application that gives me solutions, my father does, his solutions might be more ore less helpful but after all they're solutions. 
 
'''Which website do you visit frequently? Whom do you meet offline?''' Mostly Youtube and 9gag. Youtube, because I don't/can't watch normal TV and youtube has more than enough to watch. 9gag, because between piles of sh*** there are a few flowers which really rise my mood.
I'm meeting my friends of course. I got so many of them my mother stopped memorizing their names. 
 
'''What books and music are you enjoying at the moment?''' Currently I'm reading the Percy Jackson books. Yes they're books for children but I like fantasy and mythology und they are extremely well written.
My favorite music is rock. Mostly Billy Talent, but in my daily playlists are tracks of all genres, rap, jazz, dubstep, R'n'B.
A classic no one should miss Stairway to Heaven, Led Zeppelin, a brilliant song. I play guitar for almost 14 years now, this is still the best song to learn.

'''What skills do you bring to the company? How would you want to develop your talents?''' Butter smooth animation and childish enthusiasm of course.

'''What bores you to death and what ramps your adrenaline level?''' I’m a day dreamer, many exciting things happen inside my head, so actually I’m never bored.
Only a few times in my life have I ever experienced a real adrenaline rush. Once, while I was drowning as a child in frozen pond, second time happened in Siberian mountains on white water rafting trip (went overboard and was carried away in freezing water for a few kilometers), and my most recent adrenaline experience happened when a car hit my bicycle and I landed with the back of my head on asphalt (had a helmet on – didn’t feel a thing). So probably my adrenaline ramps up when I encounter life threatening situations (or very cold water. Also, when Germany won the world cup, that was extremely exciting for me! 
 
What gadget is indispensable and which application always has a solution?
Pen and paper usually solves a problem, if not - application of hot steamy shower does the job. 
 
'''What website do you visit frequently? Whom do you meet offline?''' Motionographer and icecreamhater for my daily motion design dose. Dribbble and Behance for inspiration and a bit of networking. Little White Lies for cinema news, occasionally BBC World Service.
Offline I meet with Julia (the most beautiful woman in a world and very smart too), Wunjo (big dog), Kreta (small dog), Perro (very loud cat), Agata (same blood) and Lenart, a friend. 
 
'''What books and music are you enjoying at the moment? What are the works you wouldn’t want anyone to miss?'''

And if we talk about recommendations here is a little list.
Music: Bob Dylan, Nick Cave, Suicide, Sixto Rodriguez
Book: Robinson Crusoe, American Gods, Hobbit
Graphic novel: Akira (Katsuhiro Otomo), Maus (Art Spiegelman), Asterios Polyp (David Mazzucchelli)

Some weeks ago I started working as a university lecturer and teach “Corporate & Product Branding” at RFH in Cologne. 
 
'''What’s your current object of desire, and what really moves you? ''' To live a life on which I can look back at the age of 80, sitting in my hover rocking chair and hear me saying: “Lucky me, I´ve just been happy.” 
 
'''What gadget is indispensable and which application always has a solution?''' My iWatch has been my most dispensable gadget. I think about buying Alexa, cause even if I love writing I like to find some ways to avoid using my keyboard whole day long. And the most important app for me is Google maps, cause the orientation part is just missing in my brain. 
 
'''Which website do you visit frequently? Whom do you meet offline?''' I like a mix of creative tech stuff and social topics, for example t3n and Edition-F are two of my favorites. My friends here in Düsseldorf I try to meet weekly and as often as I can I visit my favorite people in Berlin. Also important, my daily appointment with Lumi & Nati, my kittens with cuteness overload.
 
 
'''What books and music are you enjoying at the moment?''' I love podcasts. For example “Happy, holy and confident” which is mega mind opening, “Hotel Matze” cause of the inspiring personalities or “Fest und Flauschig” are part of my weekend routine. One of my favorite books is “The Circle” – a future vision about what it means if the whole society acts completely transparent.

'''What bores you to death and what ramps up your adrenaline level?'''As I don’t use a purse my adrenalin regularly ramps up if once again I have to find my chip cards in a rush. Another talent of mine: to lock myself out of the apartment.
Each message, sign or picture which could be connected to the USA stirs my blood. It reminds me of my internship there - undoubtedly the highlight of my studies. ♥

Currently Ferdowsis „Shahnameh" and Helena Hennekens „they would rock“. I’m happy I read Gabriel Garcia Márquez’ „One Hundred Years of Solitude“.
At the time I hear Stalley and Currency again and again. Don’t miss them if you are into hiphop.

I come from a tranquil village near Paderborn called Lippstadt. After stops in the Sauerland and Ruhr region I stranded in Düsseldorf. I finished a master in photography and was working more than two years as a producer in Düsseldorf lately. My next goal is to explore the island step by step. 
 
'''What skills would you bring to the company? How would you want to develop your talents?''' Intentness, self-dependance and readiness of mind. I won’t lose my organising abilities even in stressful situations. A strong coffee and black humour are my weapons against chaos taking over. Now I’m open to face new adventures – if you don't go forward, you go backwards. 
 
'''What bores you to death and what ramps up your adrenaline level?''' Slow people drive me nuts. I'm almost never bored in my leisure time – and if I that would happen I’d call it luxury. 
 
'''What’s your current object of desire, and what really moves you?'''I have no list of objects of desire. If I want something, then it is a very spontaneous decision from the heart. My list of things that I do not need is definitely longer. 
 
'''What gadget is indispensable and which application always has a solution?'''Of course my mobile – they say a phantom telephone ping is a widespread disease nowadays – so at least I’m not alone. The internet offers pretty much madness, but also most of the time a solution for everything. My laptop is another favorite gadget: With the silver bullet Photoshop I can solve almost any visual problem. 
 
'''Which website do you visit frequently? Whom do you meet offline?''' Facebook and Instagram are probably a lot more than websites. They are the anchor point for social life, stalking instrument and deflection magnet. After the first coffe, ready fore more content, W&V, Lead Digital and Horizont are on my list. Almost forgot Amazon – what would life be without online shopping?
When the batteries of mobile and laptop are empty, I go to the movies, exercise or meet friends. 
 
'''What books and music are you enjoying at the moment? What are the works you wouldn’t want anyone to miss?'''
My ebook is full of crime thrillers. Simon Beckett, Stieg Larsson, Cody McFadyen. Currently I read Sebastian Fitzeks "Noah". My playlist is as wild and colorful as my wardrobe, but especially full of Rock and Alternative. Guitars, drums and a handsome bass player - that is music. And: Everyone should see The Black Keys live.

I come from Remscheid. I programmed my first website for an outdoor shop by chance. Later I worked for agencies like Zweitag and Boros. At my last station, Boros, I had the chance to develop websites for artists and museums – not only brands and companies, with a lot of front-end work involved. Now I’m heading to the island. 
 
'''What skills do you bring to the company? How would you want to develop your talents?''' I have ten years of experience in web development. I would describe myself as a target-focused teamplayer, with a lot love for details and a solid feeling for what works digitally. My focus ist still front-end but I’m really looking forward to exchanging knowledge with our team and client. 
 
'''What bores you to death and what ramps your adrenaline level?''' Professionally I find slow overloaded websites boring. 
Ramping up my adrenaline level: AMP, webpack, vue.js, CSS modules, mapbox.
Personally I get a kick out of 4-5ft waves and a light offshore in the morning. 
 
'''What's your current object of desire, and what really moves you?''' The Vissla Storyboard by Donald Brink. (http://www.vissla.com/blog/story-board).

I had to learn a lot about wood and tools – it’s still a work in progress. 
 
'''What gadget is indispensable and which application always has a solution?''' I’m lost without my iPhone.
Apps: things, dash, github. 
 
'''Which website do you visit frequently? Whom do you meet offline?''' magicseaweed.com – for the waves in Domburg and St.Tugen.
instagram.com – check this article „Why you need a weird morning ritual“ (www.inc.com/jason-surfrapp/why-you-need-a-weird-morning- ritual.html).
github.com/trending – news from the world of web development.
Offline I spend time with my wife Heike and our two sons, Jakob and Julian. If I have extra time I go surfing, climbing, swimming, stand up paddeling and wood chopping. 
 
'''What books and music are you enjoying at the moment?''' Vicky Baum’s “Liebe und Tod auf Bali" sounds trashy but is a good historical novel about the life in Bali on the beginning of the 20th century. I’m a total Bali fan. My Spotify Top 5: Amon, Amarth, Jomsviking / Burning Spear, Live in Paris’88 / Wanda, Amore / Deftones, Koi No Yokan / Weezer, Pinkerton

'''What skills do you bring to the company? How would you want to develop your talents?''' I’m fully committed to projects I take into my hands, so you can trust that I will be there for you, striving for the best outcome. I want to build a deeper understanding of and appreciation for your crafts – the behind-the-scenes magic. 
 
'''What bores you to death and what ramps your adrenaline level?''' Having superficial conversations with people you have nothing in common with.
Adrenaline guarantee for me is 153km/h on the world's tallest roller coaster. 
 
'''What's your current object of desire, and what really moves you?''' The answer to that I will save for another time. 
 
'''What gadget is indispensable and which application always has a solution?''' I don't have one item. For me, indispensable is that they all connect and sync together.
That application does not exist. If it does, let me know. 
 
'''Which website do you visit frequently? Whom do you meet offline?''' I often browse Monoqi.
The people I love. 
 
'''What books and music are you enjoying at the moment?''' Honestly, when I read, then it's mostly news & articles. I like using Flipboard.
Non-fiction-wise I'm more a fan of new era series. If you like solving crimes, watch True Detective, Hannibal or Fargo. But I have a strong stomach.
Next on the list – David Lynch is reviving Twin Peaks in 2017.
Watching John Oliver is always entertaining.
Music-wise if I had to choose one direction it would be Soul & Hip-Hop. Listening right now to new tracks from Kendrick Lamar and Faada Freddy. For ”back in the good old days" tracks, you can never go wrong with The Reverend Al Green. I had a nice trip down memory lane last month when listening to Lauryn Hill.

I was born in Krefeld and grew up in the little town Straelen (actually in the rural village Broekhuysen just outside of Straelen) near the border to the Netherlands. My parents and my aunt and uncle rebuilt an old farm house with lots of cows and trees around it. I still love to spend the weekends there. Right now I'm content with my situation but some day I want to travel to New Zealand (despite my fear of flying).
 
'''What skills do you bring to the company? How would you want to develop your talents?''' 
I'm an experienced developer, both for frontend and backend. My uncle gave me my first computer (an old 286 machine which he didn't need anymore), and so my future in coding was decided. I love to learn new things about coding and gain new knowledge.
 
 
'''What bores you to death and what ramps your adrenaline level?''' 
I hate to just maintain things, I just have to improve them. I hate waiting (especially for delayed trains) and I can't cope with stupid people. Dealing with taxes and bureaucracy are not really my thing either.
 
 
'''What's your current object of desire, and what really moves you?''' 
Right now I really want a bigger TV for my new flat. ;) Good stories and books move me, I can spend hours with them.
 
 
'''What gadget is indispensable and which application always has a solution?''' 
All things Apple. I can't live without my iPhone (I would get lost everywhere, because I have no orientation). My (long dreamt of and finally bought) Kitchenaid is also indispensable because I love to cook and bake.
 
 
'''Which website do you visit frequently? Whom do you meet offline?''' 
Github, Stack Overflow and news websites. Offline I meet my family and my friends when I'm not buried in code.
 
 
'''What books and music are you enjoying at the moment?''' 
The soundtrack of Bridge of Spies and a brilliantly written fanfiction to Lord of the Rings.

| style="padding: 0px 10px 0px 0px;" | [[File:Valerie.jpg|250px]] Social Media Manager [http://mailto:valerie.adam@parasol-island.com valerie.adam@parasol-island.com] Languages: German, English City: Düsseldorf||'''Where do you come from, and where are you headed?'''I'm a boring german potato. :( Raised and schooled in Düsseldorf, I only left my hometown to move in with my boyfriend who's living in Bochum.
But our next big plan is moving back to Düsseldorf, yay :D. 
 
'''What skills do you bring to the company? How would you want to develop your talents?''' Growing up with the internet, spending a lot of time online and having witnessed about every Social Media platform there is and was, I'll try my best to support the Social Media team with my knowledge. In the past I've had quite some contacts with community management, influencer relations, content production as well as internal and external communications and CMS maintenance.
I'd love to be able to bundle all my experience and sharpen my expertise. 
 
'''What bores you to death and what ramps your adrenaline level?'''What bores me to death? Repetitive days, months, decades of doing the same - without any improvement, without any change. There's no progress without trying something new. And no fun.
But I love being creative and I always get pumped up when a simple or stupid idea suddenly turns into a rolling stone and a splendid materialisation. 
 
'''What's your current object of desire, and what really moves you?'''' I'm moved by good books, well written words and good coffee. Also by music and lyrics and by awesome scenery, as well as good food, especially well-made cinnamon rolls!
On a 3 week road trip through Australia I licked blood and now I cannot wait to plan my next road trip, be it Australia, Canada or the Tuscany.
 
 
'''What gadget is indispensable and which application always has a solution?''' I will never leave home without my smartphone - it's really become indispensable for me and a great tool to gather everything necessary in one place.
I'm also a huge supporter of collective intelligence, so for me the applications that always have a solution would be google and twitter. 
 
'''Which website do you visit frequently? Whom do you meet offline?''' Twitter and YouTube are my main sources for news as well as satirical comments to said news.
I'm also a sucker for beautiful pictures on Instagram. Whom do I meet online? This question made me think a bit. Let's say my boyfriend (duh, we're living together, so that's obvious), my best girlfriends from school whom I still love very dearly (15 years of friendship and counting, yay!), as well as my friends from dance school (where I used to work part-time). 
 
'''What books and music are you enjoying at the moment?''' I recently fell in love with the Percy Jackson/Heroes of Olympus series (Rick Riordan), but don't take my word as a recommendation for great literature. I just happen to LOVE young adults novel and this series is especially good since it combines sharp humour with mythological topics. I also started reading Six of Crows (Leigh Bardugo) and A Court of Thorns and Roses (Sarah J. Maas), another two young adult novels.

A super interesting read is The Circle by Dave Eggers, which deals with some kind of Social Media Dystopia, in my opinion a really relevant topic.

I would always recommend people to read the following: Norwegian Wood (Haruki Murakami), Memoires of a Geisha (Arthur Golden), die Stadt der träumenden Bücher (Water Moers), Child Thief (Gerald Brom) and The Humans (Matt Haig).
As for classics, I will never get tired of reading Peter Pan, Little Women, 1984 and of course the Harry Potter series.

... After overwhelming you with my bad taste in literature, I decided it's best not to spam you with my everlasting love for music (especially Alternative, Indie, Pop and songs with beautiful lyrics.)
If you are still interested, don't be shy to ask me in person - I won't bite. Often.
