TO CREATE
Who and what inspires you? I find inspiration in literally everything and everywhere. So you could say that life inspires me, haha. I think that to be inspired we have to be open to creating and be surrounded by people who bring out that inspiration, which can be friends, strangers, artists, people on the street.
What else do you want to create? So much. The common factor in all my professional and life projects is to create more happiness.
