About Me

..I grew up in little old Adelaide. Primary school at East Adelaide then some pretty unsettled and then Marryatville High School. Took a year off and went travelling into South America, Europe and the Middle East. Returned to Adelaide to begin a course at Uni SA (which wasnt for me). The cage of Adelaide tightened and i had to return to the wild (cough). Have now completed Communication Design at RMIT and loving it (the work, friends, the city, people and diversity). I am who i am, some people dont like me others do. I like to think i'm genuine and cant stand falseness. Thats a very brief and uncomplicated version of my 22 years... Been a hell of a ride, bumpy one at times but isnt that what makes the the ride exhilarating..? Peace out. Beastie Boys: Good Vibrations 2006, Photographer: Philippe Bechervaise Love Melbourne town!!
