My name is Dewald and I was born and raised in Cape Town
South-Africa. I finished High School in 1999 and have been
employed in various fields over the years. I spent some time
in London where I experienced different cultures and also did
a variety of interesting jobs. After I came back home to
South-Africa I enrolled for a Cullinary Cooking course which I
completed after also working full-time in restaurants and for catering companies. I then moved into
sales and more specifically retail. Currently I am employed as a
full time Sales Consultant in a high-end Jewellery store.
I enjoy working with other people and providing excellent
service to clients is a big passion for me. I decided to
enroll for an online Web Development course through HyperionDev as a way to expose myself to the exciting field of web development. I enjoy the endless possibilities in creating something unique and beautiful. Creating a balance between simplicity, aesthetics and functionality is what inspires me.

Hobbies
I have had a love for music since a very young age and started playing guitar when I was 14 years old. Over the years the guitar has become a great friend and is also amazingly therapeutic. Listening to music and discovering new artists has and will always be one of the great pleasures of life! Other than that I enjoy occasional cooking and recently discovered the art of baking bread. I also enjoy reading, watching unnecessarily complicated youtube talks on philosophy and working out with kettlebells.
