Have you ever gotten lost on purpose?

Purposefully getting lost while traveling? It’s my thing. Planning every detail is cool, but nothing beats the thrill of wandering off and stumbling upon unexpected treasures. I believe the real magic lies in those moments when you ditch the map and let the adventure unfold. It’s about finding that charming café down a hidden alley or stumbling upon stunning views on a random path. Getting lost? It’s where you meet the real heart of a place, make genuine connections, and uncover those hidden local gems. There’s an undeniable joy in embracing spontaneity and discovering the uncharted. That’s where the magic truly happens!

What legacy do you want to leave behind?

I aim to leave behind a legacy in design and art that’s not just seen but felt. My dream is to create something that touches people’s hearts and sparks a fire within them—a design that lets them see themselves differently and encourages them to be who they truly want to be. I want my work to be more than just aesthetics; I want it to be an experience that resonates with people, helping them rediscover their essence and embrace their true selves. If my designs can evoke emotions and inspire positive change, that’s the kind of legacy I’d be proud to leave behind.

What would you be doing if you weren’t here?

If I weren’t here, you’d probably find me exploring the world. Traveling is my go-to way of soaking up diverse cultures and uncovering the world’s hidden gems. It’s my favorite route to discover new ways of life, immerse myself in different cultures, and witness the sheer beauty this world has to offer. There’s something magical about experiencing new places and meeting people from all walks of life. It’s where I find inspiration, broaden my perspective, and collect stories worth sharing. Traveling? That’s where I truly feel alive!

In a parallel universe, what is your profession?

In another universe, I’d probably be a wizard of interactive art in a game-like realm. Picture this: creating mind-blowing, immersive experiences within a virtual world, where art and technology dance together to craft fantastic, interactive narratives. I’d be conjuring up vibrant worlds where creativity knows no bounds, shaping landscapes where people can step in, explore, and play an active role in the story. It’s about weaving art, technology, and imagination into an epic adventure, sparking joy and wonder in everyone who steps into that digital realm.
