Design is my passion. It feeds my soul. Beautiful design taps into our higher beauty and shows us what humans are capable of creating. It connects us through time and space. It brings to life our history. Join me on a journey into the world of design: through my talks, worldwide tours, writings, images and YouTube Show.
Come with me!
