​
creativity is a very big part of my life. i love making. attempting anything, in any medium and not being held to any boundaries. this is contrasted against my strong feeling that there is just too much stuff already in the world. we don’t need more.
being creative enables me to explore new things and gives me a unique confidence in my own personality and style. an interest in design has provided me with the mindset to appreciate the beauty and hidden details in every aspect of the world while showing the impact it can have on life for all.
now, a sustainable future needs to be designed; different to the consumeristic, capitalistic modern world that has tainted craft and poisoned our natural planet. creators play a key role amongst scientists, politicians, business leaders and every other man, woman and child to think differently and challenge the 'norm'. aiming for a brighter future, new systems and to save the environment we heavily rely on. this is the context very conscious within the way I live and work.
