We are Ellen and Manuel – open, liberal, and always keen to find our own path in life. Having moved from Germany to New Zealand, we have been working location-independently for many years. Together with our five-year-old son, we love traveling as a small family. Being able to shape our life and work freely makes us very happy.
Here, we write about AI and robotics, design, and self-employment. At the same time, we are working on a few AI projects and experiments of our own. Ellen is a Product Manager at Automattic.
How the web is changing through AI interests us more than ever. That’s exactly what we write and talk about here on Elmastudio, in our newsletter, and on Ellen’s YouTube channel – personally and with our own opinions.
A quick note on our use of AI: No post here is AI-generated. We use AI for research, data analysis, and grammar checks. If that ever changes for a specific post, we will make a note of it in the post itself.
