Hello, thanks for visiting!

I am Shelene, a digital archaeologist and graphic designer based in the Netherlands.

I have an unusual education background, starting from a formal education in graphic design before pivoting to archaeology (my childhood dream!) and soon, geomatics.

Despite this unconventionality, I have realised throughout my education and experiences that I am largely interested in digital tools and everything spatial-related. Think of 3D printing book covers, creating (archaeological) maps and network analyses, these are some of the things I do within my various education experiences.
