Joachim Jake Layes
Author
Joachim was born in Germany and had early ambitions of becoming an architect or astrophysicist. However, his true passion was a broad curiosity spanning the creative, practical, and theoretical. It shaped his diverse career in Europe, North America, and the Asia Pacific, including interior and industrial design, application engineering, sales and marketing, corporate sustainability, and supporting social and environmental entrepreneurs. After his mother passed away when he was six, his grand-aunt comforted him by pointing to the Big Dipper, inspiring him to write the story of Nova. Today, Joachim lives in Germany with his family and still looks up to the Big Dipper.
