Working for arc Architects, a well-established and recognized architectural firm in South Africa and Sub- Saharan Africa.

Sustainable and economical designs form the core of this design group in a world where green and well-being matters most.
STATEMENT OF ART:Frank Lloyd Wright's words inspire me: "A design isn't finished until someone is using it..." Meeting the expectations of the end-user client and seeing the design work and come to live drives me. Creating work spaces which flow, are functional and contribute to the well-being of its users is fundamental to me. Design that enhances lifestyles is my driving force. The user must want to ENTER, WORK and BE in the created space irrespective of who he is and what his emotions are at that time. I aspire to incorporate my passion for music when designing as not to lose a part of myself in the creative process, but to rather feed that segment which gives me serenity and leaves me with fulfillment. My inspiration stems from music, and how every musical piece creates tones and harmony through collaboration and sharing connected components. The one cannot be without the other. Together all comes alive, and forms the greater picture of an orchestra. The harmony in music correlates to lines, structure and flowing elements in architectural design. I am a social person and get my energy from people, so the idea of an orchestra appeals to me rather than playing a single instrument. The vibes, highs and lows and the energy within the design world are what drive me. Architecture is about creating, collaboration, energy and fulfillment which forms an integral part of why I do what I do.
