Hi, i am Tim — a creative individual.
My topics are photography, graphic design, typography and typesetting, web design and programming. That is what these pages will mostly be about. In photography, i like to capture the relationship between people, their environments and animals in their natural habitat.
I was born in 1994, grew up in Gelsenkirchen and Herten-Westerholt, where i currently live.
What i do#
- I work fulltime as a CEO at the Büning GmbH & Co. KG, the company my father founded.
- On this website: In the blog i write about projects and experiences, case studies offer detailed project reports, my photos live in the gallery, and my microblog collects short notes.
Volunteering#
- Member of the Wikimedia Foundation (since 2019).
- Member of the Düsseldorfer Aufklärungsdienst e. V. (since 2021).
- Supporting member of the Giordano Bruno Stiftung (since 2020).
- Former member of the Partei der Humanisten — among others federal executive board and federal cash auditor, previously social media, marketing and state executive board of NRW (2020–2021); left in 2024.
What else …#
I really do a lot of stuff! I have a no longer produced podcast, which i played very irregularly with my best buddy Dominik. I also do a lot of sports, like riding a bike (road bike or MTB is fine with me) and occasionally weight training.
I am a humanist. I would describe myself as liberal-left. As a supporting member of the Giordano Bruno Stiftung as well as a member of the Düsseldorf Aufklärungsdienst e. V., i am committed to the secularization and enlightenment of people. I think religion and belief systems should not play a role in our time.
Since 2022, i have been donating 3 % of my annual net income to the most effective organizations worldwide under the 3 % Pledge at Giving What We Can.
I am a pretty straight-edge person, which means no drugs, no psychedelics, no alcohol, only sugar and coffee — and both in only small amounts.
