HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE CREATIVITY?
Creativity is having an understanding of different things, whether it be a brief from a client, or a daily-life situation, and the ability to further such an understanding into something new.

DESCRIBE YOUR PRACTICE IN THREE WORDS
Delicate / Learning / Happy
WHERE DO YOU GO, OR WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU GET STUCK ON A PROJECT?
Go to a nearby cafe.
WHAT PROJECT ARE YOU MOST PROUD OF?
I’m proud of every project, whether its the completed ones or those that are still a work in progress, because each work has its own story that allows me to learn from different experiences and use them to further develop what I do.

IF YOU COULD INVITE ANY CREATIVE OUT FOR COFFEE, WHO WOULD YOU CHOOSE AND WHY?
If possible, I would love to have a cup of coffee with Dorte Mandrup because she’s one of the architects whose works I’ve admired and been studying about since I was a college student.
