Hi! I’m Dominic.
Good to see you and welcome to my digital home. Here you’ll find some showcases from my design and transportation planning portfolio, photos and your occascional train travel thread. And in the future maybe even blogposts – we’ll see. Work on this site is still in progress, so check back again soon or follow me on social media not to miss any update.

Train+Travel
Threads
Travel threads are your thing? Here, I’m trying to republish some of my travel threads originally published on twitter and deleted after the platform got unusable. Also, you’ll find a link list to more recent threads on Mastodon and Bluesky. Backpack packed? Let’s go!

Design
This is the creative section and contains my Graphic Design work. But I have to admit that it more often than not overlaps with either the travel or the transportation plannig section.
