About 

"If I can create some space that people haven't experienced before and if it stays with them or gives them a dream for the future, that's the kind of structure I seek to create."  – Tadao Ando

As an interior designer, brand entrepreneur and changemaker I strive to create meaning through unique experiences. Having lived and worked on projects around the world I have, and continue to develop an uncharacteristic understanding and respect for cultural nuance. 

Giving others a dream for the future, which is referenced in Ando's quote above, is the work that I too strive to create. Whether it is personal projects, client alignment, consultancy, or partnerships with firms I believe that as a designer we have the ability to create sustainable change to enhance the world and the lives within it.
