WHO
ABOUT THE Founder
I'm Hugo Hoppmann, designer and creative director, and founder of PRESENT.
I started getting deeper into the psychology of work, the creative process and the power of habits while I was still studying, and on the edge of burning out . I always had big ambitions with a hundred projects and interests at once.
How can we balance it all without driving ourselves crazy? How can we live life to the fullest — and at the same time be present to do our best work — despite the turbulent times and a million distractions around us? This question drives me.
The challenges and tragedies in my own life helped me grow. I’m not a guru or an expert, but what I’ve learned in my life so far I want to share. I’m just grateful, want to give back, and build things.
My journey to become better in my craft as a designer took me around the globe and I was lucky to meet many fascinating makers who became friends and mentors along the way.
Next to running my independent design studio — I aim to build this platform and community to collaborate more, learn more, explore together the topics that fascinate us.
COMMUNITY
We have makers of all ages and professions in our Community. From woodworkers to teachers, from fashion to finance. United in making and bonded through learning and growing together. We share struggles and hopes, talk about self-discipline, productivity, rituals, fitness, finances, and everything that’s helpful, inspiring and motivating for our journeys.
