Hey Steem peoples!
Recently I heard about this thing called „Steemit“ for the first time. It was at a christmas party when a friend of mine told me about the great network and all the possibilities I would have there. She was also the one who told me to do an „introduceyourself“ - well…like they always say: „When in Rome do an introduceyourself“, right?
So, what can I say about me? My name is Mattis, I’m 25 years old and I live in Cologne/Germany. After finishing my study in media in 2013 I started to work as a freelancer for different companies in media industry. In 2015 me and a good friend of mine decided to start our own company called Refining Arts. Since then we try to make the Internet a nicer place every day by creating both great new websites and awesome high-class video content for companies and peoples in a commercial context. As part of our team I am primarily responsible for our website projects while my colleague is in charge for the film department. Here you can see some of our work :-)
I am fascinated about web design since my early years - I think I began at the age of about 12, creating my first own website using HTML4 and Microsoft FrontPage (R.I.P.). After that I started other projects like websites for my school or my diving club, fan pages for soccer, friend sites or a new site for the local fire brigade. The idea of creating a place where the whole world can get information about a certain thing keeps since then preying on my mind. By now I’m doing kind of the same but (hopefully noticeable) on another level since back then. That means I’m planning, designing and realizing new websites for customers in several fields. For technical implementation most of the time I am using WordPress as CMS and work with HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript and PHP for customization. When producing a film for one of our clients I am responsible for editorial work as well as audio recording and post production.
Besides web design and the production of new videos I think my greatest passion would be music. It all started with the age of 4 when I began to play the piano. Over the years I always felt like playing more than one instrument, so I started learning how to play the drums and several stringed instruments. I played in different big bands drums and piano, started my own punk/rock/ska band and played in different combinations like acoustic duos or as a solo musician. In the last years I started to make compositions for several short films.
Besides I like to spend my free time with the illustration of things I have in my mind. I’m happy to share some of my artwork with you!
Enough about me - what about you? I’m excited to meet you guys on this great platform and to share awesome content together with you!
One of the gifts I got for Christmas 2017 was the hint to Steemit (thank you @elenahornfilm) - what did Santa bring to you this year?
I hope to get to know some of you soon and wish everybody a great start in 2018!
Cheerio, Mattis

Der Hinweis auf das Katzenfutter ist ein Fehler. Der Kollege ist Cryptokitten geschädigt. Willkommen an Bord :-)

Hört sich spannend an. Gibt's auch mal ein Video mit deiner Band oder war diese bei dem Filmchen gar dabei?!
Viel Freude hier!

Welcome to Steemit Matt! Wish I could've gotten into web design and coding earlier, so that's cool you start messing around with it so young. This will be the best gift you will have gotten, guaranteed. Followed!
