[1989-2008]

Growing up in Brakpan, a small town that grew the idea of medium home living close to the city and the surrounding farms. My grandfather's hobby timber workshop and the others love for travelling. Learning from primary school to high school about personal interests in art from my mother's side of the family and engineering influence from my father's side.

 

[2009-2015]

moving to Pretoria introduced a completely new world of buildings, politics, people, socializing, learning and responsibility. The six years of architecture with its mixture of friendships, relationships, sharing knowledge and breaking mental boundaries of what has become the norm in most cities.

 

[2015]

Since a young age my father loved sailing, it served as a strong character builder and after studying a yachting course in Durban it lead to an over sea experience upon a 50ft sailing boat.

 

Through every decision I make and design I produce, its always backed by my friends, family and loved ones who inspire, encourage and entertain me. I thank each one for their input into my work and for adding to my journey of becoming.
