Inspiration and Process
Galleria Atrium
“What inspires my creative process and how does that translate into the work I do?
For me, being a creative means the freedom for self-expression in all forms and manner. Whether
it’s design and architecture, graphic design and branding, furniture design, conceptual art of
fashion; everything is part of the creative dialogue in my studio and laboratory. I feel immense
gratitude for having the gift of seeing beauty where others don’t and seeing the capacity for
beauty in places where others do not look.”
