"Life isn't about weathering the storm, it's about learning to dance in the rain." This quote was shared with me when I was only 6, by a teacher who encouraged me to always see the silver lining and to make the best of the circumstances given to me, no matter how grim they may seem. I am Jasper and I am driven by passion, curiosity and creativity. When I was seven, I told myself that I wanted to learn an instrument as it fascinated me how music could be produced so beautifully from a seemingly unimpressive bent piece of metal. So I did. I went ahead and picked up the trumpet, and I am still playing to this day. When I am encountered by something out of my area of expertise, I am immediately interested in how it works and how I can learn from it. Instead of seeing limitations as obstacles, I see them as objectives for me to achieve. When encountered with problems in my work, I see them as puzzles and I am always fascinated with the many strategies I can use to solve them, just by keeping an open mind and staying creative. I am someone who has a passion for working alongside SME's and local businesses, and am always interested in exploring new ways for them to grow and adapt to the digital age. Personally, I have a passion for travelling and exposing myself to new cultures. I also enjoy cycling as a hobby and I aspire to one day cycle in the Himalayas, on the world's highest road.
