Design & Development - New Business & Sailing
"Sailing Architect"
As a sailing architect, I am exploring the impact of sustainable developments.
Architecture - New Business and Sailing are coming together. Teamwork is the general connection, that is where the magic happens to set high level results. Become the number 1 in Sailing, design the most healthy and circular environment, acquire a unique project which fits the portfolio best or find this unique sponsor to fit the team.
