 “You can dream, create, design, and build the most wonderful place in the world, but it takes people to make the dream a reality“.

My Favorite Quote is from Walt Disney

Living a Healthy & Fit Lifestyle

I thrive on the untamed awe-inspiring beauty of our world, and I’m constantly drawn to exotic destinations, the wild, and unknown that inspire my creativity!

I was born in Switzerland, and graduated from high in, South Africa, where I studied Industrial Design, and Film and Theater Set Design before immigrating to the US.

Woven into the tapestry of my lifestyle, I excel as an internationally ranked Elite Ironman Endurance Triathlete. This sport covers a grueling 140.6 miles of racing. It includes a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike, and a 26.2-mile run (a full marathon) raced in that sequence in a single day.

Yes. Good Design Content, Skills & Expertise Matter!

My Natural Inclination Towards Creativity in Design

  • Inherent Creativity
  • Passion for Problem-Solving
  • Love for Aesthetics
  • Desire for Expression
  • Interest in Technology and Innovation
  • Desire for Impact
  • Flexibility and Variety

I have also learned that certain aspects of the design cannot be learned but instead are natural, genetic, inherent gifts that you are born with. Just like any other expertise or trade of your calling in life.
