Servus.

I’m Julian, a Bermudian-born Austrian. My background connects both sound engineering and startups. I am in love with House music and even more obsessed with building digital products. 3 topics echo across everything I do:

1. Product Development
2. Community Building
3. Process Design

For work, I run a solo product studio @handsdown.io where I build MVPs and branded web experiences for clients. For play, I hack around at useful micro-products and test new ideas relentlessly. You could say my work is my life, but I’ve found what truly makes me tick. Life feels like a playground this way. A blessed canvas ready for color.

What’s this website? A public index of learnings I stumble across whilst bootstrapping ideas towards my audacious goals.

Where to begin? First, get to know me through my compass. Next, give my Top 5 posts a go ↓. Then, stay up-to-date with my newsletters.
