ABOUT ME

I have a pretty relaxed personality, although you could say that I walk on the more serious side of life. But I am not boring! I like to have a good time and I love to collect new experiences.

I have always been a creative individual. I look at the world through critical and inquisitive eyes and I am constantly searching for things that I have not seen before.

PHILOSOPHY

If life doesn't make you smile then something is not right. Less is more always, and trust your gut.

OCCUPATION

I am a product designer by trade currently living and working with the poor in Burundi. I design and then train local artisans to produce handicrafts in order to make a living for themselves and for their families.

Interests

I love to make things with my hands. I also can't help but just look at things and try to figure out how they were made.

• arts
• design
• scuba diving

Music, Movies, and Books

I like to be surprised. I listen to, watch, or read anything that seems interesting at the time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went scuba diving in the Cayman Islands. 100 ft below the surface of the water I saw the bluest blue I have ever seen in my life. Beautiful! I will never forget visiting that alien world.

I can teach you more than you want to know about art and design.
