› What is the most recent item that you've added to your workspace?

Mac Mini

› How do you spark creativity?

By being outside, or sport.I'm overwhelmed by being closed in the house for too long.

› What does your typical day look like?

Woke up, do some work until my partner and dogs are still asleep (or going out for a gym or basketball - depends on a day), walk with a dogs, going out for a coffee (espresso doppio and a lot of water to get rid of the taste haha) back to work and conceptualizing, again walk with dogs, launch, walk and watching something or doing sudoku.Recently I'm also doing daily drone shots, so going out looking for some cool places - and sharing some stories on 𝕏 with it.

› What is the most challenging aspect of running an agency?

Context switching, churn, and diving into new topics on weekly basis.Actually, for the past few months uncoverlab.co brings me a lot of fun.Running an agency created a need for me for that tool.As diving into new topics is challenging I wanted to build library of design components that all agency founders can use to move faster and avoid starting from scratch!
