My father was born in a family of craftspeople, my mother in a farming family.

They are makers and worked their way up. My father was the first generation to go to university, he failed his Phd, and became a two-time entrepreneur in the software industry. Both worked hard to offer my sister and me economic, social, and cultural capital to have a better life.
