So it would seem foolish, would it not, to adjust our lives to the demands of a goal we see from a different angle every day? How could we ever hope to accomplish anything... THE ANSWER, THEN, MUST NOT DEAL WITH GOALS AT ALL...
We do not strive to be firemen, we do not strive to be bankers, nor policemen, nor doctors.

SUITS ARE only PRESENTED IN PLAIN AND SAFE COLOURS.
All these things added up around me, so in an attempt to be more comfortable wearing suits, to feel more like me I put all these components together and started to explore the idea of...
creating my own suits, TO MAKE THEM into MY THING
I came across a Japanese expression one day that blew my mind as it sums up all I have ever been trying to say about my many art projects
wabi sabi: nothing is perfect nor is anything PERMANENT or ever finished.
After 20+ years working in the advertising industry at big global networks and award winning design agencies and studios I decided to move to Bali to stress less with more focus on health and happiness. In this process...
