My name is Stefan and I am currently 40 years old (2025). I am a teacher by trade but science, nature, physiology, geology, meteorology and many more have always been my passion. And when I am passionate about something, I do a deep dive into it! This comes from my deep love of knowledge and wanting (and understanding intuitively) to understand how things work. 

My teaching days ended abruptly in 2020 when I had a STROKE. A blodclot had slipped through a hole in my heart and found its way to my brain. This altered my path in life, and ultimately led me to #BrainCrafts.

My focus has always been on the sciences, but through my job I have added psychology and an understanding of how the human mind works (and doesn't work). Therefore I was absolutely thrilled when I stumbled upon Craft Psychology. I had just months before started my own journey into crafts and seeing a connection between Crafts, mental health and recovering from my brain injury caught my attention - hence another deep dive. So now knowing just about all there is to know about the psychology behind why #BrainCrafts works, I want (read need) to spread this knowledge to others in similar situations - and hopefully help them get through their own struggles; wether it be brain injury, mental health issues or something completely different. 

#BrainCrafts is what gets me through my days. They help me to focus, block out the world, find purpose again, share what my minds eye sees and in countless more ways.

This story starts in april of 2024. With me suddently wanting to try to crochet a Pokemon for my son.
