I'm Maxx Scholten and I do all sorts of neat, creative things.

I'm some sort of 21st century Jack of all trades - I am a web developer and interactive designer, photographer, journalist, writer and whatever else you need me to be. I have been working with web interfaces and visual media for more than 10 years and I'm always looking for new ways to display functional creativity.
