Background information about CreativeSpirits.info

I created Creative Spirits in 2000 as a site to document my travels through Western Australia, publish my photography and poetry.

In 2006 I added a section about Aboriginal culture where I started to share what I had learned and read. Over time I noticed that I had started filling a void -- many Australians are hungry for 'real' information about Aboriginal culture.

Today CreativeSpirits.info consumes most of my spare time. I do everything: researching, writing, photography, creating educational resources, content management, marketing, SEO, software maintenance, writing templates, creating the design, optimising for speed.

Background information about Jens Korff

Picture of Jens Korff, author of this website

I was born in Melbourne but grew up in Germany - a fact which I believe helps me see Aboriginal Australia with a fresh pair of curious eyes.

I have a postgraduate diploma in IT and am working as a web developer in my day job - my hobby became my profession, and now both mutually nurture each other.

I am a conscious man interested in self-development, supporting marginalised groups and exploring creativity.
