Interview by Charles Festa

Hello there, and how are you doing today?

I'm great, thanks for asking, a bit sleepy.

How did you get your start in design?

When I was a kid I just loved the taste of pencils, so that was a first impression which made me fall in love with it and it's still my favorite medium to work with. After college I've started working as a graphic designer but since almost a year now I work as an illustrator and really enjoy doing it.




What inspires your work?

Long walks, public parks, the whole city, people in general, so basically everything really.




How does it feel to have a design selected by Threadless?

It's amazing, the first time when I found out it was totally surprising since back then I wouldn't thought that I will be printed. It's a good feeling knowing that shirts with your design on them will be all around the world.




What do you plan to spend your hard-earned cash on?

Well since Christmas is close probably i will spend it on buying presents.
