Saskia always speaks from her heart, usually through excessive gesturing and spontaneous dance. She walks the talk of sustainable living… only her life is a catwalk… and she rocks the shit out of it.

Ohu is creating a new way of being where people and communities are at the heart of property development. We work with communities to develop assets which will sustain and strengthen their community. We believe it is possible for people with a common purpose to work together to collectively create and own assets that generate both a social and economic value.

Levi is a jack of all trades.. like all the cool ones. He even asked if he could build us a tool library. Not “hey, you know what this place needs, YOU should start a tool library”.. but, “Hey, can I help by building a tool library?” Boom.

Not just an incredibly beautiful and creative thinker, Suzanne turns everything she touches into a one-of-a-kind treasure. When she’s not playing on a slack-line, rock-climbing, doing acro-yoga, or with her kitten Walter, she’s probably playing somewhere else. Her hugs will change the way you feel about life.
