Parimal Satyal

Salut. I'm Parimal, a designer and occasional writer living in Berlin.

I'm interested in communication, languages, cross-cultural exchange, aviation, computer history, information systems and the European Union.

Neustadt.fr is my personal website, a tribute to the creative web of the 90s.

Currently

I work as a UX/UI Designer at OpenProject, a secure, open-source project management software that respects your data and your privacy.

I grew up with the internet of the 90s and early 2000s. It was chaotic, irregular, flashy, gaudy, peppered with animated GIFs, but most websites were made by people like you and me who wanted to share their interests and hobbies.

Luckily, I'm not the only one nostalgic about the Geocities era. There's a lot of us! Grinning smiley Click the icon below to enter my Retro Collection page full of links to websites, tools, Winamp skins and other cool stuff from the past.
