What are the main tasks that make up your daily work routine?
As a CAD designer, the biggest challenge is translating the desired design concept into technical plans so that the carpenter is able to produce everything.
What has been your most challenging project to date and what did you learn from it?
My biggest challenge was a small boutique in Kuwait that wanted to remodel their VIP area. It was the first project for which I planned everything from start to finish. What made it so tough was having to design an additional space in an existing shop while maintaining large parts of it.
What do you need at your work station at all times?
A small action figure, a caffeinated drink and music are all I need to get through the day.
What makes a place a home for you?
For me home is about the people who are around you and give you support.
What song have you been listening to for years that never gets old?
«Thrift Shop» by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis is one I can listen to nonstop.
