"For me, design means encountering an idea, allowing yourself to be captivated by it, and translating it into existence. It’s a unique and fascinating path that alternates between dream and reality we well as logic and intuition. I want to be able to look at and touch the idea, see how this new object works, and enjoy it. The life of the product starts around the people who like it."
