1. Highlight of being a member of EPDA
“Describe a key experience or moment of truth you experienced as a member of the EPDA community.”
The highlight for me was the opportunity to collaborate with creative, like-minded designers from various disciplines and gain new perspectives. The exchange at events was particularly valuable, inspiring me both professionally and personally.
2. Design Inspiration
“Who is your biggest reference or inspiration in design?”
I find inspiration in the work of designers who successfully combine conceptual thinking with emotional impact. I’m especially fascinated by those who master a strong visual and narrative language with a focus on typography.
3. Favorite Creative Tool or Design Gadget
“What is your ‘can’t live without it’ thing when it comes to design? Be it software, technical device, design trash…”
Inspiration is the key to any creative process. I always begin with research—diving into books and staying alert for colors, typefaces, and ideas in my daily surroundings. Often, the best inspiration comes in the most unexpected moments.
4. Fun Fact
“Share a fun fact about yourself that most people don’t know.”
I’m a huge dog lover—I’m that person who can’t resist snapping a photo of every dog I come across. If there’s a dog in the room, I’m probably the one trying to pet it or take a quick picture.
5. Hobby or Interest
“What are some of your favorite hobbies or interests outside of design?”
I’ve been passionate about nail art for years. It allows me to express my creativity in a medium completely different from brand or editorial design, and I love how it challenges me in new and unexpected ways.
6. What is your favourite colour combination and why?
Currently, I’m absolutely in love with violet and orange. I adore this vibrant combination—it feels bold, energetic, and full of contrast.
