Becoming a designer has been my dream since childhood, likely influenced by my designer father. However, I also prepared alternative paths for myself, such as physicist and race car driver. I have always been exploring and learning in different fields to understand what I excel at and truly love. I set short-term and long-term goals to avoid losing direction amidst various explorations.
I love traveling, especially staying in locals' homes for a few weeks to experience their culture and unique characteristics. I believe travel is an excellent learning process; it's fascinating to set aside prejudices and understand the background and current situation of a region. This approach also helps me gain more inspiration for my designs.
I believe life cannot be without sports; it fills me with energy and passion for life. I organize weekly basketball games with friends. I am very concerned about environmental issues because my favorite sport is skiing. I fear that due to global warming, I might not be able to ski in 20 years.
