I ended up in the industry by accident. Or well, I guess it wasn't a surprise because I've always been one of those people who enjoy watching ads. Before title "Creative" I worked in a karaoke bar, went to a university of applied sciences to study shoe design (learned how to make shoes by hand – very useful skill), and studied some graphic design on the side.

​

In my first job even somehow related to marketing, I realized I like writing and could be even better at it. It's 2016, so what should be done? Start a blog! And so my writing practice platform, the Pinossa blog, was born. My blog quickly started to gather engaged readers, as did my Instagram account. Not only did I want to write, people wanted to read my stuff.

​

Then suddenly the whole world stayed at home, and I had time to think about what I really wanted to do:

 

write

design concepts

give people something to think about.
