HOW DID YOU GET INTERESTED IN DESIGN?
It started back in my early childhood. Sitting in the backseat of the family car, I'd look forward to long drives on the highway. They were the perfect opportunity to see plenty of logos and signs. I even memorized where all my favourites were: "Honda is coming up on the left, Toyota next, then IKEA on the right." I remember making a point to glance over each sign, even the ones I didn't like. My fascination with design only grew stronger with time — so I guess it's little surprise that I ended up as a designer.
