He studied at RMIT-Melbourne, Lasalle SIA College of the Arts, where he successfully graduated with a Bachelor of Arts, distinction in Interior Design and Architecture.

"The process of inner self into the creation of movement and form of expression demand a high degree of discipline, self-criticism and a singular dedication. In discovering conceptual expression through the forms and colours, it helps expand my horizons and develops the spirit of confidence, creativity and devotion that provides for mutual harmony between myself and the environment within. Processes and acts of realization are linked into the expressions of movement which develop into a kind of mystery through this zone. I hope to explore further making something into an experience of a total creation."
