I find immense joy in designing and creating furniture, and being able to turn this passion into a career feels like a true gift. From a young age, I’ve always embraced imagination and creativity, believing that an open mind and the freedom to create can contribute to making the world a more beautiful place. For me, working with nature rather than trying to control it is fundamental to achieving harmony with our environment.
Lately, I’ve been reflecting on the dynamics of working with clients. I’ve encountered a wide range of people—some who appreciate unique designs and others who prefer to control every detail. At times, I find myself almost interviewing potential clients, questioning whether I want to move forward with them. It reminds me of the iconic “Soup Nazi” episode from Seinfeld, where the wrong word could mean “no soup for you.” Some days, I feel like saying the same, but bills must be paid, and I know there are clients out there who value uniqueness and will grant me the artistic freedom to create something truly beautiful.
This is the reality of working on commissions. However, I’m striving to shift my focus toward creating my own work. By sharing videos of my creative process, I hope to gain support and carve out more freedom to expand my knowledge and creativity. This journey is about finding balance—staying true to my artistic vision while navigating the practicalities of life.
For you younger folks out there, look up the Seinfeld episode “The Soup Nazi”—you might find it entertaining. Just a heads-up, it’s from a time before political correctness was as prevalent!
