My name is Steven and I was thinking about how to explain you who I am. “Growing through diversification, like a garden”. To me this is the best way I can describe my journey.

I am a devoted learner and a generally curious person with a sensitivity for space, colours, food, arts and plants. I’ve learnt and studied different jobs/practices like draughtsman in an architecture office over 4 years and did a bachelor in photography.

At the moment do not work specifically on one job, because of the need of freedom and curiosity of learning new things I guess.

While studying the visual arts I got to be more and more familiar with the art of tattoing. So I added that too my list of skills I would want to work on. At some point I ended up working as a cook because I already loved cooking since years at that point. In between I’ve been teaching languages such as German and English in french speaking schools.

Today I work in different museums and art centers as a technician building up art (generally photography) exhibitions, I still tattoo depending on the demand or I cook.

Now, the dream I have is to put my energy and knowledge into something that makes me truly happy, and thats by helping others through a self created space for humans and their creations.

I'm Kim and I was lucky enough to grow up on a farm, with my hands in the soil and surrounded by animals. The environment I grew up in developed my curiosity and creativity on so many levels. I quickly fell in love with trees, flowers, plants and their medicinal properties.

On top of that, my mum passed on to me her sensitivity to beautiful and living things. Thanks to her, I became interested in the different forms of natural therapy that she used to treat me with as a child.

I later took a 2-year naturopathy course in Lausanne. This experience enriched my knowledge and gave me a more holistic vision of how to look after myself and others.

I then spent a lot of time travelling around Asia and Latin America, discovering cultures that fascinated me and a natural world so different from the one I grew up in. Always following the coastline to stay close to the ocean and the waves.

Today, when I'm not in my kitchen processing food from the garden, I'm enjoying my time in Switzerland by accompanying young people with disabilities on trips.

But for as long as I can remember, my dream has always been to live close to the ocean in a tropical country where I could grow my own food, have a positive impact on the environment and bring people together to create together and pass on my passion for life.
