As I look back at my practice, I have learned to be kinder with the natural pace of my creative energy. In other words, it’s like something we say in Mexico—I pick my battles with my own creative process.

I’ve probably read a hundred novels in the last year; I love twisty thrillers and mysteries. Reading helps keep my work/life boundaries in place, it’s a great distraction.

For me, art first served as a distraction, a way to break up the monotony of staring at screens all day during my time at university. In the evenings, I made collages to clear my mind.

It was a very intuitive and playful process, where one format complemented the other and resulted in a harmonious aesthetic. Working creatively means continuously evolving.

We have learned that in solution building, clients are experts in their own needs—and that we should never underestimate them.

Trusting yourself initially and gaining the confidence to do so is the first hurdle, then you learn along the way by throwing yourself into situations that are increasingly more challenging.

We fell in love with the perfect little beach surrounded by mountains very quickly but kept searching for something even better. We got a few recommendations and eventually decided to go with another beach a few hours away.

A book that changed me would be ECM Sleeves of Desire by Lars Müller Publishers.
