"You are what you came from, and I came from a hard but loving life in New Guinea, so I understand the value of what I call ‘simple elegance meets functionality.’ After I bought my first home, I discovered an inbuilt need to tinker and improve on it, and that led to experimenting with shipping container conversions. My forever home will be crafted of recycled containers, and I’m sure my mother, who sacrificed so much so I could have this life, would approve."
