What is your favorite item in your workspace?

The Tech Deck fingerboard because it brings some peace when I'm trying to disconnect a little bit on a busy day. Also, it reminds me of the good old days of skateboarding.

How do you spark creativity?

Sports! Running, playing football, riding my bike, and lately, yoga. I realized that if I want to be a creative person what works best for me is to stand up from my desk and do different activities.

How do you manage work-life balance?

When I founded my design studio, having a great work-life balance was what I envisioned for me and the people I work with, that's why being remote always was a top priority.
