FounderPost Swim Feeling
I am founder of Post Swim Feeling, a design office with a focus on health and wellbeing. I lived away from the ocean for over a decade and ‘post swim feeling’ became the term used to describe that sense of vitality, joy and wellbeing after an experience; a sauna, a mountain walk, a yoga class. The nostalgic strings of home for the very specific sensory drenching that the Indian ocean offers me.
I am interested in this inquiry of happiness and human flourishing and in the potential of our environments to have an influence on our health.
When there is space, light and order in our surroundings, our emotional and mental states tend to reciprocate these qualities. I have worked in the favelas in Brazil, public projects in Berlin and on high end projects in Zurich and the essence of the approach is always the same.
I have a Masters degree in Architecture from RMIT, Melbourne and a Masters in Urban Design from the ETH, Zurich.
