30-second bio

📍Based in Munich, Germany. Originally from Cape Town, South Africa.

Longer take

I’m a big fan of the opportunities online writing can generate for people.

You can take any existing set of skills (coding, pricing, design, art, you name it) and by adding writing you have lift-off.

Immediately you add self-promotion, storytelling, a larger luck surface area etc. Writing shines a light on your skills and allows other people to find you.

In September 2021 I was stuck in a dead-end job. I didn’t have any followers or subscribers. I hadn’t even written an essay in years.

I just knew I wanted to create something with my life. 

Through writing and posting my ideas I’ve been able to go self-employed, sell my first digital product and create an online community for visualization & drawing.

Not to mention all the talented, curious people I’ve met along the way.

Long live online writing in all its shapes and forms. I’m grateful to share this journey with all of you.
