“When I started working with neon lights I became colorful too; now I can also channel this positivity to football fans worldwide through my creative work at the Forza Football App."
Josefin Eklund is a self-proclaimed junkie who is addicted to neon lights. It all started as a curiosity for documenting different types of neon pieces she found on her travels.
This interaction later turned into her passion for designing her own light-filled installations and exhibiting those bright creations in European cities. Until now Josefin has successfully exhibited her unique art in four European cities in just a few years.
2. Gregory Veret a.k.a. Organic Farmer
“New technologies dramatically change the way children grow, learn and interact with each other. This will allow them to change the world and make it better.”
At the age of 29, Gregory Veret decided to go back to school and learn everything he needs to know about agriculture and organic farming. Then after some time, he bought a 65-acre island to start his very own organic farm.
Gregory was able to keep his farming passion a secret for quite a few years, but now with #IMakeApps, he is coming forward to tell us his story.
3. Manel Alcaide a.k.a. Acrobat
“Visualfy is an app for deaf people but I don’t think I’m helping anyone. I think it's a basic right. I can’t conceive a world that is not for everyone".
2008 was the year when Manel Alcaide first started performing aerial acrobatics and decided to follow his true passion. Since then, he has hosted various integration workshops for deaf and hearing children. His motive behind these workshops was to bring the children together through the means of circus techniques.
