Hey there! I‘m Patrick.
I love building things that bring people closer to the version of themselves that they dream of. An explorer at heart, I’ve dedicated my career to two questions: ‘What if?’ and ‘Why not?’ I believe the world is a big place and there’s always an opportunity to try something new. I lead award-winning skin care brand Ceylon as its founder and CEO. The brand solves pressing skin issues for people of color worldwide by delivering powerful, scientifically-backed formulations that are easy to integrate into a daily routine.
I’m also an art collector, dealer, and advisor. My passion for art and design sparked an interest in exploring other creative cultures, which partly led to an eventual career as a Public Diplomacy Officer in the U.S. State Department as well as my entreprenurial adventure with Ceylon. It also informs my newest project, Goliath.
Fun fact: I love collecting fortunes because I think they’re always accurate. Here’s my favorite one: “The work will teach you how to do it.”
