AUSTRIAN CREATIVE BASED IN MILAN, ITALY
_________

SINCE  MY  CHILDHOOD  I’VE  ALWAYS  BEEN  PASSIONATE  ABOUT  OBJECTS  &   SPACES  WITH  THEIR  FUNCTIONS  &  AESTHETICS.    MOREOVER,  TRAVELLING  AROUND  THE  WORLD  IS  WHAT  MADE  ME  APPRECIATE  THE  DIFFERENT  APPROACHES  TO  DESIGN  WHICH  IS  LITERALLY  RELATED  TO  MY  EDUCATIONAL  CAREER  (TEXTILE,  PRODUCT  &  INTERIOR  DESIGN).
DUE  MY  TRAVELS  I  ALWAYS  KEPT  MY  EYES  OPEN,  COLLECTED  A  LOT  OF  INSIGHTS,  INSPIRATION  &  ENRICHED  MY  KNOWLEDGE  AT  THE  SAME  TIME.    STARTING  FROM  THE  METHOD  OF  MANUFACTURING  IN  BALI,  INDONESIA  ABOUT  THE  INTERNATIONAL  FURNITURE  FAIR   `SALONE  DEL  MOBILE’  IN  MILAN,  ITALY  TO  MY  INTERNSHIP  EXPERIENCE  IN  KITZBUEHEL,  AUSTRIA  WHICH  WAS  NOT  OLNY  DESIGNING  INTERIORS,  MORE  BRINGING  THEM  TO  LIFE.
TO  GET  THERE  WHERE  I  AM  TODAY,   I  DARED  THE  UNKNOWN,  LITERALLY   CROSSED  BOARDERS  &  GOT  A  HUGE  IMPROVEMENT  &  AMAZING   EXPERIENCES OUT  OF  IT.    LEAVING  MY  COMFORT  ZONE  BY  MOVING  TO  ANOTHER  COUNTRY  WAS  THE  BEST  DECISION  I  COULD  HAVE  EVER  DONE.
I  FEEL  ESPECIALLY  INTERIOR  DESIGN  IS  A  BALANCED  &  CALCULATED  AMALGAMATION  OF  RATIONAL  THINKING  &  AESTHETIC  EXPRESSION  OF  CULTURE,  BELIEFS  &  TRADITIONS  -  THAT  IS  WHAT  MAKES  IT  SUCH  A  THOUGHT-PROVOKING   PROCESS.   I  LOVE  GIVING  CHARACTER  TO  A  SPACE  BY  USING  PARTICULAR  FABRICS  &  PRODUCTS  IN  A  SPECIFIC  STYLE   &   IMPLEMENTING  MATERIALS  IN  DIFFERENT  WAYS.
PERSONALLY,   I’M  VERY  OPEN-MINDED  AS   WELL  AS  RESERVED,  WHICH  DEPENDS ON  THE  SITUATION,  BUT  I  DO  NOT  PREVENT  MYSELF  FROM  TRYING  OUT  NEW  EXPERIENCES  IN  LIFE  WHICH  ALSO  PARALLELY  DEFINES  MY  STYLE  IN  DESIGN.   I PURSUE  MINIMALISTIC  STYLE  BUT  NEVER  HOLD  BACK  FROM  TRYING  OUT COLORS OR   EXTRAORDINARINESS.    I  CONSIDER  MYSELF  AS  DETAIL-ORIENTED,  FOCUSSED,  ORGANIZED  &  I  THINK  MY  CREATIVITY,   PROFESSION  &  POSITIVE ATTITUDE  IS  VISIBLE  IN  MY  PROJECTS  I’VE  DONE  SO  FAR.
I  WENT  FROM  DETAILS,  LIKE  MATERIALS  &  FABRICS  TO  PRODUCTS  LIKE  FURNITURE  &  LIGHTING  &  ARRIVED  HERE  -  CREATING  SPACES  WHERE  ALL  THESE  ELEMENTS  PLAY  AN  IMPORTANT  ROLE.    AFTER  ALL  THOSE  DIFFERENT  EXPERIENCES  I  DARE  TO  SAY  THAT  I’M  VERY  BROADLY  POSITIONED.    I’M  REALLY HAPPY  &  PROUD  OF  MYSELF  WHAT  I  ACHIEVED  UNTIL  NOW  &  CAN’T  WAIT  WHAT  THE  FUTURE  HOLDS.    THERE’S  ALWAYS  SOMETHING  NEW  TO  LEARN,  THINGS  TO  IMPROVE,  PLACES  TO  EXPLORE  &  PEOPLE / CULTURES  TO  GET  TO  KNOW.
SINCE  I’M  A  VERY  CURIOUS  PERSON  AS  WELL,  I  DON’T  WANT  TO  ASK  MYSELF  ' WHAT  IF ...? ’.    IF YOU  DON’T  ASK  -  THE  ANSWER  IS  NO.    IF  YOU  DON’T  GO  AFTER  YOU  WHAT  YOU  WANT,   YOU’LL  NEVER  HAVE  IT.    IF  YOU  DON’T  STEP  FORWARD,  YOU’LL   ALWAYS   STAY  IN  THE  SAME  SPOT.    IF  YOU  NEVER  TRY,  YOU’LL  NEVER  KNOW.     IT  LEADS  ME  TO  DARE  SOMETHING  NEW,  TRY  MORE   &   MAKES  ME  DO    DECISIONS  WHICH  ARE   OUT  OF  MY  COMFORT  ZONE  IN  ORDER  TO  BECOME  THE  BEST  VERSION  OF  MYSELF.   SUPPORTED  BY  MY  FAVORITE  QUOTE:
