INTERESTS
I am a curious person who loves to travel and experience different cultures, as it inspires me as a human being, but also in my work as a designer and stylist. At the same time it gives me opportunity to spot new trends and tendencies in the world and cultivate my passion for photography. Beside this I do yoga, participate in cultural events and have an interest in good food and wine, which I love to enjoy with my friends and family.
