I support myself and others in creating ways of interacting and collaborating that have the power to generate tangible change in the world. Everything big starts with a small seed.

What to expect

I am always new.
I generously radiate my energy.
Kindness will save us.
I experiment, play and live adventurously.
I think it possible that I may be mistaken.
I am in my center when I am in constantly changing roles, contexts and biotopes.
I create projects and relationships based on equality, inclusion and partnership.

pirate heart!
