about me / 05
Where do I recharge?
When I’m not designing, you’ll probably find me on two wheels, riding with friends and chasing quiet roads. Cycling is my way of recharging, it keeps me moving, clears my mind, and gives me a front-row seat to nature (plus the occasional post-ride coffee doesn’t hurt).
What’s my secret source of inspiration?
Where do my cultural stories begin?
