“We are called to be architects of the future, not its victims.” ~ Buckminster Fuller

What I do is design. To give a proper definition: de·sign (dəˈzīn) – purpose, planning, or intention that exists or is thought to exist behind an action, fact, or material object.

I design websites. I design apps. I design logos, products and packaging. I design videos, marketing material and advertising campaigns. I design experiments and I design the future. I create with purpose. I plan, connect and collaborate with intention, I take action and I follow facts. I meditate and I make and break the material world.

I make websites. I make them load fast, I make them easy to navigate, I make them interactive and I make them beautiful. I listen to your desires, I craft with care, I build quickly, and I teach you how to fish. I’ve designed and developed 102 websites and counting.

I believe technology can change the world. I’m not a master coder but I’ve worked on an app or two. To keep up and stay connected, we must embrace the change from web to mobile and soon to augmented reality and virtual reality.

I’ve designed logos for companies big and small ranging from yoga studios, jewelry companies and hair salons to real estate firms, law firms, and drone photography. I believe branding should tell a story and bring out emotions, not just look good.

Standard advertisement tactics are becoming obsolete daily. The world is changing and people are getting all their information on search engines and social platforms. I’ve mastered SEM/SMM strategies and managed campaigns spending $3K+/ day.

Fake or real, people now get their news from social media. Our social lives have been digitalized. We now communicate, we debate, we fixate and we date on social media. From Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to Pinterest, Snapchat, and Youtube, I’m a master of social media marketing and content creation. My social media profiles have tens of thousands of followers and are growing every day.

People dont want words anymore. They don’t have time. They want pictures. As the saying goes “a picture is worth a thousand words”. Infographics have exploaded onto the scene and I love them. Tell your story with feeling and hit the punchline.

I’m a visual learner and thinker so I love video. Video has now taken over our world as online platforms and cameras in abundance have made it possible to film, upload and share your story and experience instantly with the world. It’s a new frontier.

I designed my first product at 12 years old. Since then I’ve designed products ranging from jewelry, fashion and toys to soap, cutting boards and rum bottles. I even went to China to work directly with manufactures to develop a fidget toy and got it funded in under a week on Kickstarter.

I don’t just do products, I care about the whole package. We first see packaging and then we see the product. Presentation and unboxing can be more important than product design. First impressions are everything and beautiful packaging is vital.

Our world is governed by the rule of law, or so they say. To protect your ideas and hard work you have to embrace the legal system and grasp the dynamics of patent design, copyrights and trademarks. I’ve been granted a patent on my invention and a few trademarks and hope to get many more under my belt in upcoming years.

I love figuring out why things work, so I love science. I also believe questioning, building, and testing is what it’s all about. Science pushes us, it transforms us, it proves us wrong, humbles us, and keeps us guessing. Live life as an experiment.

I have a passion for balance and I love playing with stones. I grew up on a small island with plentiful rocks so I started balancing stones when I was very young. I’ve now stacked stones in countries across the globe from sunrise to sunset, from winter to summer.

I’m an artist at heart. I’ve been creating art before I could talk. I wanted to be a cartoonist when I grew up. I love sketching, sculpting, stacking and creating with all mediums. Art is the expression of the soul.

Do you need some design assistance? I’m here to help. I run businesses so I know what questions to ask and what solutions exist. I understand the struggle. I’ve worked with start ups to fortune 500 compaies and in the process I’ve mastered lean strategies, fast growth, and the leading enterprise technology solutions. I’m hungry, I’m foolish , and I want to design with you.

NATURE LOVES COURAGE

“Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. This is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really touched the alchemical gold, this is what they understood. This is the shamanic dance in the waterfall. This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering it’s a feather bed.” ~ Terence McKenna
