Hello, I'm a graphic designer and developer interested in alternative computing practices, DIY and publishing. I make websites, tools, software, typefaces, publications and run workshops on alternative, experimental and collaborative publishing or type design processes. I document and publish my work under free software licenses. This website is hosted from my home in Strasbourg. You can contact me by email: mail@emilegreis.net, find some of my work on gitlab and see a few images below while this website is under construction.
