What is your favorite type of art to create?

I find the most joy in creating vases and interior objects. There’s something deeply satisfying about shaping pieces that quietly become part of someone’s everyday life. These objects aren’t just decorativethey give a home its personality, reflecting individual taste and turning a space into something truly personal. I love the idea that something I create can inspire, bring warmth, and spark a small moment of happiness each time it’s seen or used.

Where do you find inspiration?

I find my inspiration in nature its quiet rhythms, organic shapes, and effortless harmony. In the curves of stones shaped by water, in the texture of tree bark, in the way light shifts across the landscape throughout the day. Nature never repeats itself, yet everything feels balanced and intentional. That’s what I try to capture in my work those imperfect, living forms that feel calm, grounding, and timeless.

What would you do with $25,000?

If I had $25,000, I would open a small creative studio a space where people could come and create something meaningful with their own hands. A place filled with clay, texture, and quiet inspiration, where every object becomes a personal memory. I would want it to feel warm and welcoming, not like a workshop, but like a moment of pause in everyday life. Somewhere people can slow down, explore their creativity, and leave with something that carries their story inside it.
