About

I am a multifaceted and highly adaptable creative, driven by curiosity and a constant hunger to learn. From a family sustainable farming project to public-facing roles, art projects, carpentry and children’s education, I’ve explored many environments and disciplines. I thrive in collaborative settings and enjoy turning ideas into tangible results through hands-on work and thoughtful planning.

I am profoundly humanistic and enjoy working with people. A natural problem solver with a highly creative mind, I dive into projects with dedication and versatility, always aiming to deliver meaningful outcomes. My approach blends craft, communication, and curiosity to build strong teams and produce material realities that reflect an artistically ambitious vision.
