Personal profiles:
Joachim is a German national and
has a long career as an international
corporate finance banker. Joachim
said that he feels blessed as he spent a
great part of his career and life outside
of Germany in metropolitan cities
like London, Amsterdam, New York,
Sydney and Hong Kong. These job
assignments provided him with the
opportunity to learn about different
cultures, lifestyles and trends that he
now can capitalize on when serving
the international community of Hua
Hin. Joachim also said that with
each move to a new home he had to
newly assort his furniture which is
probably the reason why he developed
a strong personal interest in furniture
arrangements.
Matt on the other hand is a Thai
national and started off as a banker.
After a few years in the job he however
decided to quit his job to go to Sydney
to improve his English skills and to
study marketing and tourism. As fate
willed, it was in Sydney where Matt
and Joachim met and became friends.
And when Matt told Joachim of his
dream to exploit in interior design
Joachim encouraged Matt to join
him on his next assignment to Hong
Kong where he joined renowned
Raffles Design Institute of Singapore
to complete a 2 1/2-year study in
interior design. And so it happened
and Matt was awarded the Advanced
Diploma by the RCHE of Singapore.
He then started an internship with
Hansar Hotel in Bangkok where he
was part of the internal design team
and participated in several renovation
projects.
