Hi there,

I’m Darren — let’s make life better, together.

I’m a sustainable architect and YouTuber creating content for a better and healthier planet.

My life has been shaped by experiences in London, New York, and Miami, and now I’m rooted in the lush jungles of Costa Rica, where the only thing louder than the howling of howler monkeys is the source of inspiration that Costa Rica offers.

I am passionately committed to the belief that architecture and our daily routines play a crucial role in combating climate change, a cause that is often overlooked and under-appreciated.

The world doesn’t need more perfect lives. It needs more honest ones.

Let’s be real — most of what we see online looks flawless. Sunsets. Smooth skin. Serene homes. But behind the filters, a lot of us are just trying to figure life out.

I’ve been there too — and I’ve learned that designing a better life isn’t about perfection. It’s about intention.

Mind. Body. Home. Planet.
Let’s make them work better — together.

Here are five ways I help people create lives that feel more aligned, more grounded, and more human — starting right where they are.

SUSTAINABLE DESIGN

Looking to live lighter on the planet — without giving up comfort or beauty?​

I help you design spaces and systems that are both practical and regenerative, reducing your footprint while reconnecting you with nature through real-world sustainable solutions.

WELLBEING & LONGEVITY

Trying to stay strong, clear, and energized as you move through life?

I share tools, strategies and routines that support peak physical and mental performance — through intentional design, movement, and daily living choices that last for the long run.

BELONGING & PLACE

Building a life in a new place — or trying to feel more at home where you are?

I help you design for connection — whether you’re starting fresh, working from anywhere, living abroad, or simply finding your people.

LIVING WITH NATURE

Craving a lifestyle that feels more grounded, peaceful, and alive?

I show you how to bring the outdoors in through architecture, landscaping, and everyday choices that reconnect you with nature — and with yourself.

PERSONAL GROWTH

Ready to grow, reset, or realign with the life you actually want?

I blend design thinking, productivity systems, and real-world experience to help you shape a life that evolves with you and actually fits who you are.
