I'm not always a designer

I'm also a surfer, a snowboarder, a vegetatian, a passionate outdoors enthusiast, a singer and an ever curios person who works on solar power. Being in awe is the state I exist in. I strive to bring play, inspiration and authenticity to my life and the lives that touch mine.
