This is the bio I use for my portfolio.

Iewan van den Berg lives in Austin, TX where he graduated at Lake Travis High School class of 2016. Before pursuing college he plans to travel Europe to learn more about the many crafts and trades of the world. He was born in South Africa and moved to America at the age of one with his family, and is part of the first generation to imigrate to America.
Iewan’s passion for making and designing started at a young age; exploring the many facets of creating. Diving into materials including wood, metal, glass, and leather; but hopes to expand his talents through multiple mediums. When he isn’t making, he enjoys rugby, time with friends, and sailing.

- Teach
I can teach you how to make stuff! whether it's leather work, metal work, wood work, glass work; you name it i'll teach you. That being said i'm not amazing at all these things, but i'm very familiar and practiced.

- Learn
I would love to learn about the language of the area i'm in, cool places to visit (i don't normally plan that far ahead), great food in the area, and anything cool you can do.
