About Me

Backpacking across India and into Nepal with the ultimate aim of self discovery and personal growth.

Raised in the The Land of The Long White Cloud (New Zealand). Educated at the Victoria University of Wellington gaining a masters degree in Innovative Digital Media Design. Over the past 2 years I have dedicated my life to writing a paper on simulating psychedelic therapy through mediated reality. Mediated reality is a framework which I developed for various platforms which are designed to alter human consciousness via dynamic head mounted computer processing devices. I am a designer, artist, technology enthusiast, intellect, athlete and among many other things, a citizen of the world. I am of no religion yet am a spiritual person who is intrigued by eastern philosophy.
