Must know
When I’m not designing, books and stories are my biggest inspiration, I spend all my free time playing video games and I dream of creating my own.
MAJOR Potterhead ⚡
I still play The Sims.
10+ years in Pilates just so I’ll be an happier elder.
If ever same argument happens twice, my responses will be spot-on.
I’d set the world on fire for my dog.
I listen to heavy metal to calm down.
Animals > humans 🐾
The sea is my BFF.
And one day (when I finally ride without falling) I’ll call myself a rider.
