As a kid, I never had just one answer when people asked what I wanted to be. Architect, lawyer, photographer, etc. My interests were all over the place. The only thing I knew for sure? I loved to travel, and the traditional 9-to-5 life wasn’t for me.

When it came time to graduate high school I was as clueless as ever. I enrolled in a university, only to drop out after one term. A decision that turned out to be one of the best I ever made. It gave me the freedom to travel, meet incredible people, and experience life in Italy, France, and England. Today, I call the Netherlands home.

Over the years, I worked in different jobs, but nothing ever felt quite right. Then, in early 2020, just after quitting my job in London, I visited family in the Netherlands right as the world shut down.

With no clear direction, I stumbled across a "Website in a Weekend" course. I signed up, loved every second of it, and quickly dove into learning everything I could about web development. That’s when it all clicked. I had found the perfect blend of creativity and strategy.

Starting Onyx Pointe allowed me to blend my passions: creativity, travel, and problem-solving into one. I now design websites and branding for small businesses, helping them take the next step toward growing their business. Traveling continues to fuel my inspiration, from architecture and landscapes to street art and photography. Best of all, I get to meet incredible entrepreneurs and learn about diverse industries along the way.

I’m here to help you bring your vision to life - wherever in the world that may be.
