About
He who dares, wins.
I’ve been drawn to design for as long as I can remember — first with LEGO, and later through building real projects as a construction company manager.
In South Africa, I realised we were spending unnecessary time and money outsourcing floor plans. I was the middleman, coordinating architects for drawings I knew I could learn to produce myself. So I did — bringing CAD drawings in-house, reducing costs for clients, and improving our tender success rate.
That’s when I caught the “CAD bug”. What started as a practical solution became a passion — because CAD sits perfectly at the crossroads of two things I love: technology and understanding how things are built.
I made the decision to start over in Europe, even without qualifications or industry experience. I sold everything I had and enrolled in a hospitality design school in Switzerland.
Five years later, I’m living in the south of the Netherlands, pursuing my vocation and building a career — and a life — that feels genuinely mine.
