I live in Amsterdam, work in hospitality, and spend part of my free time making small useful things. Sometimes practical, sometimes a little strange.

just trying to make something of my time on this rock flying through space.

Alarm Lock

An iPhone alarm that makes getting up the easiest way to turn it off.

Place an NFC tag out of reach of your bed. When the alarm goes off, you have to scan the tag to turn it off.

a bit about me

a bit busy,
likes company,
sometimes alone.

I work in hospitality, like making things, and usually prefer doing things together with someone. At the same time, I sometimes really need to be alone. This site is a place for some of what I make, what I think about, and what I want to share.
