'If you are ready to sail into the wide blue yonder,and experience the watery part of the world, I could steer you in a direction that would take you into bluer waters still, hop on to this, my little boat, though long seasoned and weather stained, it might still perhaps know or own a few wonders someday.'

-Me

Times are changing, and I need to be quick on my feet, be relevant and be up and about with the world around me. I am curious and always on the look out to explore new avenues, challenge myself, be versatile in thought and action, learn from my surroundings, be passionate and build a good argument. Will and hard work makes an insurmountable task, attainable.

Actions speak a thousand words, and images that capture actions, to be set in time, more still. The mind has photographic memory, and the world around us is a visual film set in motion, replete with sound, action,and dialogue. For me then, it is only second nature to know that film is life and life is film. First nature is, the very words that make me imagine and induce actions that are captured in film.

Design is the very grain of nature. The world around us is a function of design. We human beings are elements of design, the human brain is the most beautifully designed organ that houses the mind that derives design thought from life itself.A design mind-set is not problem-focused, its solution focused and action oriented towards creating a preferred future. That is what I believe, I am.

Across the world, people are trying to work with each other is more collaborated and integrated ways, in order to change things for the better either in organisations, communities or beyond. We all need to develop a lens through which we can facilitate social change and bring it to every engagement. I want to use my will and skill to work towards sustainable and equitable social change at home and at work.
