Writing a blog covering engineering and creative articles has been a unique and exciting challenge.
On the one hand, you have the technical aspects of engineering that require a certain level of expertise and precision in your writing. On the other hand, you have the freedom and imagination that comes with creative writing, allowing you to explore different topics and styles. Balancing these two elements appeals to a broad audience, from those interested in my design engineering developments to those looking at the world of my creative projects.
