1. How do you define yourself?

İllustratör.

2. Where is your happiest place to work?

My workshop in Cologne.

3. A page from your sketchbook?

4. How do you combine your imagination with reality in your creative process?

I try to work without thinking these two elements together. But in the past year, my work began to move towards a personal direction beyond my control. This was not the case before. So I think this automatically reflects imagination and reality in my work.

5. If your design for KAFT x HOOD Base's "Resonate" series was a playlist of 3 songs, which tracks would be in it?

MNDSGN - Rare Pleasure II
Charlotte Day Wilson - Work
Yussef Kamaal - Yo Chavez

6. Where and which moments do you feel resonated on the same wavelength or frequency with the planet?

It can change from time to time but these days, I have been feeling resonated on long walks to an unknown route. With music and my dog of course.
