Who am I?
After my health crashed back in 2019 due to being overweight and obese, I realised that it didn’t matter how good I get at design or branding or anything else in life if my own body is suffering and breaking down.
So, I decided to fix my health and did research on what was making my body tear apart at the age of 30, which in turn was affecting my work and career as a graphic designer. What I found out was, apart from lack of movement and regular exercise, the brands of food that I was consuming out of a package were the main culprits.
Most convenience highly processed food brands profit from adding powerful preservatives and additives that make the food have an unnaturally higher shelf life and super addictive, which makes a consumer keep coming back for more.
These chemically made factory preservatives and additives are like slower versions of drugs, cigarettes and alcohol that slowly break down a person’s health. But what makes me tick as a designer is that these highly and ultra-processed packaged foods are marketed, designed and branded as harmless and safe.
Purpose in Life
As a designer, I learnt that the human body was designed to move and was designed to be fuelled with natural whole foods. After gaining this knowledge, I decided to implement it and was finally able to shed off my excess weight, got back my health and my life.
Taking care of my health and my body is my way of serving and thanking God for giving me such a well-designed, functional body that I can use to express my designs and creativity.
I want to help and inspire many other people and graphic designers out there who are struggling with balancing their careers and their health. And to join forces together to speak and work against brands that are destroying people’s health and the earth just for mere amounts of profit.
My goal is to work with brands that truly care about people and the planet and to inspire other designers to do the same.
Life is short, and we get to live it only once. So, let’s use our short time here on Earth, use our creativity and our God-given talents to serve our Creator and to serve people all over the world.
Let’s create brands that truly build people and leave a lasting, meaningful legacy for the coming generations.
So, are you ready to make a better brand for someone?

Want to know the child in me? (Matthew 18:3-4)
Being born is a gift from God
It was never under my control to decide to come into this world. It was God. Hence, God is in control of our entire life, right from the time we were born till we finally go away from here. Life is God’s precious gift, and I live to speak about all the wonderful things He has done for us all.
Spent my Childhood Staring at the Wall in my room
Switched from telecommunication engineering to Logos and realised, when I was a kid, I used to stare at the wall in my room and loved discovering hidden shapes, humans, and wild animals on the subtle rough lines on the wall.
Walkman Singer
The things I owned and that were dear to me when I was young – A blank cassette, singing, a guitar, and a Walkman to record. That’s how I learned – lyrics, story & emotions were everything and are the main ingredients of every great brand and brandmark.
My Best Friend
No matter how messy life gets, He has always been there to pick me up and save me. What would I do without Him, my bestest friend? Jesus.
