A recent experience that inspired you creatively?

I played in a marble quarry as part of a visual-sound project, where nature and human work blend in harmony. The music was crafted to enhance the setting, not disrupt it, and feeling connected to nature while performing was deeply emotional.

An artist or designer that you admire, and what about their work resonates with you?

Armen Miran, a DJ/producer, feels like a dream to me. His mystical music takes you on an ethereal journey, blending genres as he draws inspiration from life's full range of emotions. His simplicity leads to boldness.

Go-to activity for unwinding after a long day?

It's obvious, listen to music :) and also run to let off steam.

If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why?

Omniscience, in order to never be unprepared. And if I had to choose a second one I would love to fly.

What's your favourite quote or saying that you live by?

“Don't waste your time chasing butterflies. Mend your garden, and the butterflies will come.” by Brazilian poet Mário Quintana.
