What Simon Does Foundation?
About Simon Deayelle (Bio)
​
Born and raised in German-speaking parts of Switzerland. After school and a commercial apprenticeship spent 15+ years between working in logistics and IT in Basle (CH), Aberdeen (UK), Budapest (HU) and Prague (CZ).
Following socio-economic (unvirusrelated) changes in early 2019 an absurd amount of time was spent reflecting on own experiences and two decades of excessive exposure to alternative music, independent cinema and (by his mother’s assessment rather strange) books.
An eclectic list of works predominantly created between the late ‘70s and the very early 2010’s.
This resulted in in the creation of www.whatsimondoes.org sometime in 2020 and the early stages writing what is generously called ‘Stories’ – experimentation and failure being the key take away.
The focus shifted shortly thereafter onto the creation of original fictional works - Novels and Short Stories.
A conceptual approach was taken to define the five main and several minor characters.
Until further notice time is spent writing about their lives - in a manner that defies genre-classification and other expectation.
