About the Book
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Author. Speaker. Event Architect
The moments that change us most often happen by accident.
What if they didn’t have to?
Gallivant is a travelogue, memoir and cultural meditation that explores how moving through unfamiliar places reshapes perception, identity and belonging. Through stories of travel, missteps and observation, it invites readers to slow down, pay attention and reconsider how the world quietly shapes us.
The book lays the philosophical groundwork for a way of seeing that values curiosity over certainty, a mindset that naturally leads to more intentional choices about how we live, work and move through life.
Coming Soon
Event Architecture Online Course
After decades of working across architecture, interior design, fashion, events and culture, SIIM has distilled a way of thinking that gives structure to intuition. This course introduces Event Architecture (EA) as a practical framework for moving from accidental moments to intentional design, in work, culture, and life.
The transformation EA enables is not theoretical; it is grounded in lived, cross-disciplinary practice.

If experiences shape how we think, feel, and behave, who is designing them — and to what end?
Drawing from Gallivant, SIIM explores travel as essential homework: a way to relearn curiosity, situational awareness, and emotional literacy. Through story and observation, these talks introduce the foundations of Event Architecture as a way of seeing, offering audiences practical
insight into how to curate their own lives with greater intention.
