The Current Cade

As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to..


observe life quietly from a distance.


This prophesized a future passion for design that even I couldn’t predict, cultivating the silent curiosity living within myself and bringing it into spoken mediums. Design brought me out of my shell and into the world, where I now attack progress through the consideration of all possibilities, without underestimating any idea, person or perspective along the way. An inner-personal vow to constanty do better, with integrity above all else.


It’s driven an obsession in me for attention to both detail and an audience, with my observant curiosity defining questions that I seek to answer.

For this, I owe Design my humble gratitude, and pledge my absolute all to its purpose, for whom ever I'm lucky enough to innovate alongside.
