• LOVE

    From birth, we are destined to love. For love is a language with infinite meanings, and it can only be learned through experience. Love is the pillar of life, without love meaning is lost. One should always be optimistic about life and continue the journey. There is always a silver lining with love, so no…


  • HAPPINESS

    Happiness begins with you, lives with you, and lives in you. You may get the odd day of negativity, but as they say, “Happiness is a choice.” Happiness blossoms when one is content and fully lives in the moment. Indulge in as much positivity as possible, be it music, film, or art – find medicine…


  • Champion

    When Muhammad Ali – the greatest sporting icon passed away, George Foreman gave an interview about his once rival turned friend. He said, Muhammad Ali made everyone feel like a champion, no matter whom his path crossed, be it a waiter or a journalist. And then those people were inspired to become the best in…


  • HERO

    My ethos on living life is as follows: Live life like your painting the most beautiful picture with every person that has helped you along the way, each one being a different colour – paint happiness! If you can live life like a painting, then boy are you in for a surprise. Suddenly you enjoy…


  • PERSISTENCE

    There is a recipe to success and it’s called persistence. However you must take calculated risks, don’t risk everything because you will actually loose everything. Everybody craves success, money or fame, but what they don’t understand is the struggle. The struggle is an ingredient to success, as success is not a straight road, there are…


  • WORK

    They say good things come to those who wait, I say “Good things come to those who Work.” Yes, we should hope and dream, but we must not sit and wait. If you have a dream, an ambition, a business plan – that’s just step 1 my friend. You see, everything creative starts with an…


  • GIVING BACK

    I was always a quiet child, but a very emotional one. They say the most emotional people are the most creative & that is what I’m doing … giving back.  My mother is a special woman and the majority will say the same about theirs alive (or sadly not at present) but remember, one day you…


  • EGO

    We all have an ego, but Eckhart Tolle’s book The Power of Now changed my life and I believe it can change yours. Our ego always wants to be associated with the past and the future whereas its ultimate enemy is the present. It is always trying to want more with future ambitions or think…


  • STORIES

    An irresistible brand contains a variety of ingredients, the main being its story. Some stories are timeless, others are nostalgic, whilst few are exceptional. In the very first page I wrote the following, “we believe that each brand has a story, if it doesn’t then this is a marketing crime,” so yes, I am very serious!…


  • WORDS

    Words, written or spoken are sacred. “Patience is food for the Soul” … how powerful are words. “Be an instrument to improve Humanity,” how effective are words. “The currency of this World should be kindness,” – words are paramount. When I sit down with a client, I act as a Scientist. Firstly, depending on the…


  • DESIGN

    Exceptional design boils down to beauty and simplicity. For one to design, he/she must be a visionary. He/she must create a solution that can harmonise humanity and ultimately connect/unite culture. There is a melody behind design, and it’s called change. Change is an obsession to modern designers, change is potent and curiosity triggers action that…


  • SIMPLICITY

    Are you like me? When I first visited Paris I was amazed at the subtle yet rich brands such as Louis Vuitton, Cartier, Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Balenciaga … the list goes on. Some, I cannot even spell but I know how to pronounce them. I found something however that took me a while to realise, the key to their branding…
