About

How do you reach, appeal to or even change someone
whose attitude to life is 180 degrees opposed to yours? Not by expressing how wrong you think they are. What it all comes down to in any form of communication, is empathy. The first thing I do in any challenge is to look at it from the other individual’s perspective, no matter who this person might be. Because in order to communicate anything to anyone, you need to understand where they’re coming from.
Doing a lot is doing a little, but doing a little bit of everything might just be enough to accomplish a lot. That’s why some time ago, I consciously made the decision not to limit myself to just one path, and have positioned myself as a multidisciplinary creative. It allows me to handle any challenge I face in my work differently, and treat it with exactly that what it needs in order to find the best outcome possible.
Whenever I hold onto these two traits, connecting the dots comes naturally to me, and most of all,
sincerely.
