the man called jakob
ap plies for an internship
Dearest Reader, I want to give you a quick sight into the work I do and care most about. This portfolio is rather a little ap petizer than a complete impression of my versatility and skill. These are just some works I am quite proud of. For example the background here. May it subconsciously interfere with your thoughts. May it convince you to dedicate some of your precious minutes to me. Even invite me to your place for a cof fee, a chat and a job. Because I seriously want to work for you & I will give all my best to do so. Yours, Jakob
