I believe designing is actually a process that helps me to know myself; with each and every combination, colour choice or design decision, I come face to face with more personal questions such as: ‘Who am I doing this for? Why am I doing this? For what purpose?
So the creative process has become a path of self-discovery, self-definition and a continuous rearranging of priorities. It has helped me to accept my differences, develop my patience, challenge my will and open my mind. Above all it has taught me not to be afraid of making mistakes but to learn from them.
This is why making a handbag is my way of listening to myself, working with my hands and becoming a little freer and happier with every passing day.
