ABOUT ME

I was born in Johannesburg and lived there until 14, then moved to Cape Town and then onto Durban so i've seen a real diversity of South Africa. After graduating from film school in 2004 i moved to London where i have lived and worked since. In between filming and other freelance work I have travelled in Europe and central America.

PHILOSOPHY

The life we choose is the life we live
Music washes the dust off our souls
Sometimes in the winds of change do we find out true direction

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Helped plant trees for greenpop in SA. Scuba Diving in Belize. Swam with turtles in the Sychelles. Climbed table mountain in SA. Climbed Lions head (SA) on a lunar eclipse. Attended Africa Burns festival in the Karoo Desert. Watched a blue whale give birth. Visited Mayan ruins in Mexico. Stayed Ashram in south India. Travelled on a train from Mumbai to Goa - highly recommend it!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach people how to paint in water colours if they would like to learn. I am a trained yoga teacher and love to share the gift of yoga as well. I have a good eye for detail and good at turning a house into a home.
If you are also needing a styling overhaul - I love helping people finding clothes that complement them.
