What are your aspirations in life?

“My aspiration in life is to be… happy.” 😂

But the core of my aspiration for life is to exist authentically and dynamically.

What does Design mean to you?

Design is the quintessential element of everything! Whatever it is that attracts us to anything is the often overlooked element of design.
We aspire to embody certain elements of all our influences by mere virtue of design, not necessarily in the conventional understanding of design but the theory of design is a conversation for another day.

Line, shape, space, value, form, texture and color, which are your 3 favourite elements of art?

Line. Space. Color.

What do you think of our creative scene right now?

Given the GP of our creative scene, its booming (for a lack of a better word) given the circumstances.
I am however most excited for the relentless efforts of all creatives in developing a creative identity that is 1. Relatable and 2. Consumable.

Who are you crushing on, creatively? 

My current crush, creatively would be the likes of Travis Gumbs and Lakeith Stanfield. To exist as a carefree black man, WHAT A TIME TO BE BLACK!

Where do you draw inspiration from?

A lot of my art is influenced by the virtue of existing in a time  where you can navigate life in true and uninterrupted finesse. Art that has first of all character and secondly personality.

Pick your ideal local creative team? 5 spots

Zach Kauraisa. Merja Ileka (obviously). Ericke Tjiueza. Reginaldo Antunes. Reggie Films.

Your ultimate dream project?

My ultimate dream project would definitely be a collaborative fashion film with Margaret Zhang, Luka Sabbat and Steven Klein.

What can we look forward to this year? In terms of the KP Brand.

As for the brand, I can’t promise anything but I definitely intend on covering more ground as a multifacet creative and definitely expanding my network.
Who knows, I might be a Ibiza resident DJ in the year to come.
