The founder, Chris Scheper, is a principal engineer, creative entrepreneur and artist. He grew up in the Halen area near Assen, Drenthe, The Netherlands and enjoys art, design, sports, cars, reading, music, horticulture and travelling. His career path has taken him from architectural design to engineering and from photography to art and entrepreneurship. When he was 8 years old, he wanted to be a farmer. When he drove frequently in his parent’s car at 12, a dream of becoming a racing driver was born. At 18, he was considering a career as a pilot. But at 23, he became an engineer and at 30, he started as an entrepreneur. Since then, his ambitions have continued to grow at the same pace.
His drawing skills did not go unnoticed in the classroom at a young age, and handicrafts have laid a golden foundation here. Once, he participated in a darkroom workshop at primary school. But after his sister bought her first digital photo camera in 2000 during a holiday in the US, he was immediately keen on this new, exciting, innovative technology. During these holidays, they usually played the leading role in front of their father’s film camera. His mother is an entrepreneur too, and during her leisure time, she painted landscapes and still lives, taking courses by familiar painters. His artistic sensibilities were probably accelerated because he was also regularly found in the creative atmosphere of his uncle’s art, photography and motorcycle studio. At a very young age, these unconscious sensory impressions gave him inspiration and impulses about art, design, photography and technologies.
