Teaching.

Inspired by Feynman's idea that teaching is the best way to understand, my philosophy is rooted in sparking curiosity. It’s a rewarding journey, both in sharing knowledge and seeing how it empowers others to realise their goals.

Learning.

I'm blessed with insatiable curiosity and constantly seek to understand how things interconnect. This perspective fuels my approach to design, allowing me to weave together disparate elements into a cohesive whole opening doors to new insights and deeper understanding.
