About
I am Willem Prins, a Dutch digital product management professional and cultural historian living in Brandenburg, Germany. You can find me online as Somtijds.
Somtijds is the name I adopted in 2010 when I started out as a freelancer in the field of cultural heritage. Somtijds in Dutch simply means “sometimes”. For me, it means that everything we experience now is “the sum of (all) time”.
