ABOUT ME
Creative. Committed. Curious.
WHO AM I?
Design is not just pixels on a screen. Design is what I do or create to achieve a particular outcome, whether that outcome is an action or a feeling. I have always been creative. I look at the world with a lens of creativity, always. From a young age I found pleasure in creating order and function. Cleaning my friends houses and/or bedrooms was internally rewarding. Why? When things are in order it can impact mood, it can change the atmosphere. Everything I do or think is fundamentally driven by how I can impact a human life, make people feel something, and enjoy an atmosphere.
It was inevitable that I would spend my life being creative. I studied a diploma in interior architectural design after high school. It was during my studies that ‘ergonomics’ had a profound impact of my everyday life and worldview. I has always lived it out, but now it had a name and as a result, I understood myself more.
Design has always been about putting a human at the forefront of what I do. Whether it’s drafting a floorplan, modelling a 3D render, building a physical chair (yes, I once won an award for furniture design) or simply crafting a digital product, it would be meaningless if not done for the purpose of a impacting a human life.
Being creative is not just what I do, it's who I am… Naturally, as a result, I provide guidance, expert advice, strategic mentoring and design leadership.
BESIDES DESIGN
Not only that, I am also a husband and father. I love spending time with my family, trying new foods, visiting new places, going away on holidays as much as possible. My son happens to be a little golf prodigy and therefore we spend a lot time walking the lush fairways of New Zealand's lush green golf courses. Finally, having left Cape Town, South Africa in March 2019 to immigrate into Auckland, New Zealand, in July of 2026, after many years of hard work, commitment and a multitude of memories, we became New Zealand citizens, and for that we are eternally grateful.
