Adventure and curiosity is what drives me.

I like to learn the hows and whys of the world. In design I often ask myself why is something the way it is? Can I do or create something like that? Can I better it? I like to find solutions to ideas or problems, and explore possibilities and opportunities to create meaningful design that works.
I also have a passion for adventure which lends itself a can-do attitude.
I enjoy working collaboratively with stakeholders and peers to create designs and tell stories in the best way possible.
Adventure also keeps me fit and healthy. My partner and I share a passion for exploring this great world of ours, both locally and abroad. Activities we love include motorbike trips, road trips, camping, hiking, rockclimbing, snow boarding and more.
