HOW DID YOU GET INTO THE WORLD OF DESIGN?

It all started when I was 12 and went on a theatrical lighting course, which taught me the fundamentals of lighting design. I learned how with the use of light, you can alter the mood of a room and can even influence how a person feels. Since then, I have worked in pyrotechnics, events, lighting, music and art, and they are all linked. In my opinion, they can complement one another to create something great.

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR DESIGN PHILOSOPHY?

My philosophy is simple: Create beautiful and engaging works for people of all ages and from all walks of life can enjoy. No political statements involved, just pure beauty that everyone can enjoy.
