ulla_hennig on Squidoo

  • Giant

I have been living in Berlin since 1981. I work at the University of the Arts as web editor, and in my free time I take photographs and write blog posts. I also do a bit of painting and drawing.
I joined Squidoo in June 2009 and I am getting slightly squidoo addicted.
