When do you feel most creative?<\/b><\/p>\n

I feel most creative when things are changing unexpectedly. Going through transitions gives me a sense of relief. Instead of reaching a final destination, which feels like an end, I find comfort in staying in a constant state of change and new experiences. This lets me hold onto a continuous feeling of freedom.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tell me a little about your relationship to deadlines? Do you meet them easily? And do you need them to motivate you?<\/b><\/p>\n

I find that I sometimes struggle to adhere to deadlines, but I appreciate having them in place to help me structure my tasks. While I might need to reschedule occasionally, I recognise that deadlines serve as valuable markers for progress. However, I also believe in maintaining a balanced perspective on deadlines. It’s important to acknowledge that while meeting deadlines is important, the significance of the work itself should not be diminished by a strict timeline. Quality and thoughtful output hold their own weight, and there are instances when it’s acceptable to prioritise delivering impactful results over rushing to meet a specific deadline.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you need routine?<\/b><\/p>\n

For a while, I embraced chaos and found beauty and brilliance in it without overthinking. But recently, I’ve started to explore balance and trying to break patterns, like working at night. I discovered a new routine through fitness that connects my body and mind, making me clearer in my thoughts and more in touch with myself. For the past year and a half, I’ve been consistently doing morning fitness with my partner, which has brought positive changes and a new outlook on routines for me.<\/span><\/p>\n

How much do you adhere to a \u2018conventional\u2019 9-5 working week?<\/b><\/p>\n

I don’t follow a ‘conventional’ 9-5 working week at all. I’ve put in significant effort to the point where I’m no longer dependent on a predefined system.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you work better in the morning or the evening?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

I’m most productive in the morning, especially after my gym routine and a well-deserved cappuccino.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you work on the weekends?<\/b><\/p>\n

Yes, I do.<\/p>\n

Do you try to draw a clear line between \u2018life\u2019 and \u2018work\u2019 or does it all blend into one?<\/b><\/p>\n

I don’t really draw a clear line between ‘life’ and ‘work’; they tend to blend together for me. I operate by envisioning possibilities, understanding my environment, and embracing challenges. Collaboration is a key aspect of my approach, and I find joy in working alongside friends to create and innovate.<\/span><\/p>\n

On days when you hit a creative block, what do you do to get past it?<\/b><\/p>\n

When creativity is stuck, I change course and reset.<\/span><\/p>\n

How has your relationship with your practice evolved over the years?<\/b><\/p>\n

Over the years, my connection with my practice has transformed, to emphasise sustainable growth and a collaborative spirit. An example of this evolution is the ongoing collaboration with Maximage Societe Suisse design team, which spans various stages of my life. The PARA\/SITE T-shirt collaboration becomes a celebration of our enduring creative partnership.<\/span><\/p>\n
