Portrait of Bastian Allgeier taken at beyond tellerrand in Düsseldorf 2019 by Norman Posselt

Bastian is the guy behind Zootool and the creator of a little file-based CMS called Kirby. He has a master's degree in design but works as a web developer for almost a decade. He lingers in the twilight zone between code and pixels and believes that every designer should learn about development and every developer should learn about design.

Talk: Design Your Code, Code Your Design
