Hello 👋🏼, and welcome to my website. I’m glad you have found your way here. My name is Martin, and currently, I’m working as a senior product designer @ Colonial First State in Australia.
In my spare time I like reading and writing, table tennis, hiking, and occasionally enjoying moments of solitude. This website is mostly a collection of my scribbles on various topics, predominantly design-related, but not only.
If you want to learn more about me, feel free to reach out 👋🏼 I’m always keen to chat to interesting people.
Mentoring on ADPList – no bullshit, I promise. Just a good coffee and honest feedback 😌
Today's Photo
I like taking photos of interesting creation of nature. One random photo of mine at the time. That's all.
A cockroach can run up to about 50 body lengths per second. If a human moved at that proportional speed, it would be like sprinting hundreds of kilometres per hour.
After delving into Hans Rosling’s book Factfulness, I can’t help but feel a mix of reluctant optimism and a lingering sense of impending doom. Sure, the book does a great job of showing us that the world isn’t as terrible as we might think, and that there’s data to prove humanity’s progress. But at the same time, it also highlights a rather grim reality: billions of people are striving for a lifestyle that our planet’s limited resources might never be able to sustain.
And let’s not forget our tendency to squabble over ideologies and beliefs that only serve to divide us further. In the end, while Factfulness offers a glimmer of hope, it also serves as a stark reminder of the uphill battle we face.
Still, I’d recommend giving it a read—if only to arm yourself with a bit more knowledge to navigate this complicated world.
