Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
My sole purpose is that of creation. To be creative one must be flexible, dynamic, changing... I would like to attain a state of constant creativity, an equilibrium of desire and possibility, and for this I strive.
ABOUT ME
I'm 24 years old, and come from London. I've been working as a graphic/media design freelancer ever since I left school and it has been going pretty good so far. My job and more specifically my interests in design/creation allow me to travel all over europe and meet new and exiting people who share my passion.
Others would describe me as outgoing, extroverted and pretty much easy to be around with. I'm quite sure that I will be good company and will bring a ton of entertainment and insight with me.
PHILOSOPHY
I have this believe that everything in this world is moving. Nothing is ever standing still. As Bob Dylan famously said "I'm no longer the person I was when I woke up, the minute I go to bed". So I believe that it is natural to encourage and cultivate this process of change. Shifting. Shifting and changing should be encouraged. One way to reach this state is to be as creative in your life as it is possible. Start with little things. Change to way you brush your teeth for example. Take a different route to your workplace. Step by step, you will break out from your routine and experience this life as something bigger and greater than you have ever thought.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I would say, going to the "Rock am Ring" festival, getting absolutely wasted and waking up in somebody-else's tent, where people were wearing face-paint and some horrendous looking dresses. Wow.
Teach, Learn, Share
Though I don't view myself as a great teacher, I'm willing to teach anyone who is willing to learn. I'm by no means an expert, but I would be able to provide some insider knowledge about the creative industry (think freelancing, fashion design, illustration, flash-animation, etc.).
If anybody out there would be willing to give me some guitar lessons I would be immensely grateful!
