Flags, coats of arms and symbols tell the story of our identity.
I have long studied state symbols, their correct use, history and meaning. I do not regard flags, banners, standards, coats of arms, orders and decorations as mere ornament.
Treating symbols correctly is part of the respect owed to the state, institutions, history and the people we represent.
Topics I Work With
State Flags and Coats of Arms
Rules of use, correct order, display and dignified treatment of symbols.
Heraldry and Vexillology
The symbolism, historical context and significance of flags, banners and coats of arms.
Rules for the Use of Symbols
Practical situations at public events, ceremonies and in institutional representation.
Publishing and Lecturing
Explaining the meaning of symbols, rules and context to a wider public.
International Cooperation
Following professional developments and engaging with specialists who have long worked with state symbols.
Why It Matters
Symbols have power when they are treated with an understanding of their meaning. In this field, attention to detail is not a formality but an expression of respect.
