About me

It all started when I was a kid, while my older brother would smash tiny cars against each other, I would park them, arrange them by size and colour and line them up them into a perfect queue. I know, a bit weird, but that quirk followed me into my adulthood and turned me into a pretty organised individual, always striving for a tidy home.

The declutter and minimalist part came later, much later. As many I used to follow the tide and I never even stopped to reflect on the amount of things I owned. Having a good corporate job allowed me to afford what I desired, just spending on the next piece of clothing or gadget because “why not?”, without actually questioning if I really needed it. I worked hard, I deserved it. 

But then something happened, one beautiful summer day a pipe burst outside my apartment and in a few minutes my basement was flooded. I was at work, obviously, but when I came back I had to spend all evening emptying the room, feet in the mud up to my ankle. Meanwhile, my partner was upstairs playing with our two kids.

Why did we accumulate all that stuff? Why did we keep all that stuff? Most of it was utterly useless and there I was, wasting my time and already depleted energies cleaning up a pointless mess, instead of enjoying quality time with my family.

When I went back upstairs I was looking at things differently, realised that an organised and tidy home doesn’t mean a clear, simple environment. I would spend a lot of time just putting things in the right place, while I could have saved that if I simply didn’t have those things at all. 

Accumulating objects doesn’t make you richer, just the opposite, apart from the money that could be spent better, it also steals the most valuable asset we have: time. Time to research, time to buy, time to take care of it, the time we always complain we don’t have enough. 

I decided to claim back my time, to spend my money more intentionally, to not keep things “just in case”, but to get them when I actually need them, to own only what I use and what I love. 

Once I’ve embarked in this journey I wanted to go further, so I enrolled in a coaching program with Selim Tolga and I’m now a Certified Declutter and Minimalism Coach.
