My name is Gracia Kleijnen, and I came here to write *aggressively chugs down a cup of coffee and slams it on the table while placing fingers back on the home row*.

Professionally, I work in copywriting. That implies I write a lot. And the production of streams of words does not end there.

I’m an introvert with a lively inner world. The results of taking the Myers-Briggs test yearly confirm this. Heck, it only got worse. Here, I retrieve past experiences, and evaluate them through the lens of the current me. To share with you a story, a lesson, tips, or merely someone else’s point of view on part of our shared human experience, often paired with dry humour or sarcasm.

As a former coding nerd, I still love my tech and tools, so you’ll come across the occasional software walkthrough, review, or recommendation. Not to mention a publication dedicated to spreadsheets.

Feel free to read here about the rise and fall of my short-lived programming career. As I’m learning marketing, I will write on that too to consolidate my knowledge. As they say, you don’t understand something well enough until…
