My name is Tempest van Schaik. I am a South African doing my PhD in London. I am an engineer but I also make art and design.

"With a biomedical engineering degree, an electrical engineering degree and a PhD in progress one would never guess that Tempest van Schaik has also participated in numerous exhibitions and won several awards in art and design. Tempest is a rare anomaly in this universe." Designmagazine.co.za, March 2010 Read Less
