Values

" I like considering myself as a challenger. Going beyond my limits and breaking the rules, makes me defining myself through my designs. I always need freshness and novelty to feed my curiosity, my creativity and to feel emotions. To me, emotion is the heart of design. Create experiences which will touch people, to get an impact on society is my main motivation."
