I like to believe that my skill set allows me to see the world through two different lenses. At first, they might seem like two very different ones: design and improv acting.

Design, to me, is crafting engaging visual stories and products that seamlessly integrate into people's lives as if they always belonged there. It's a perfect combination of design meeting needs and desires.

Improv is my playground for exploring both the ordinary and extraordinary with an open mind. Due to its unpredictable nature, it forces me to think outside the box.

Seemingly unrelated, they do have one major factor in common: empathy.

In design, it's the ability to understand the user, immersing yourself in their world, and feeling their needs and desires.

On the stage, it's about anticipating the actions of my fellow actors. It's stepping into the shoes of the characters I portray, understanding their motivations, and doing them justice by bringing their stories to life.

And so, these two lenses line up together, allowing me to combine the knowledge from both fields to find inventive solutions to the most challenging problems.
