Everyone who knows me or who is my friend calls me Irvin, which is my second name. Easy to pronounce and to remember unlike my first name hahaha. I was born in the rural parts of South Africa... Well, what that means is that I had to travel at a later age to the cities hence I can't stop travelling now because I fell in love with architecture, different cultures and most importantly meeting people from all kinds of backgrounds. I am a professionally trained Mathematician but that does not mean I am a nerd and out of touch with social mechanisms. I fell in love with Marketing after my postgraduate studies and I never looked back. I recently moved to Dubai and it has been an amazing experience to date. In my family, I am the middle child i.e I am a team player, economically I am A-OK, and friendly to those who are friendly to me.
