becoming the knife guy
Growing up in Nairobi he became captivated by blades from a very young age, seeing them constantly in use in both ceremonial and functional contexts. His family in France also was a significant influence, as he became heavily inspired by French kitchen culture. He further explored his passion for blades during his bachelors studies in Metal Art, and then continued his exploration during his time working professionally as a chef.
