I am an Art Director in a design agency that I co-founded. I focus on fun and colorful creative designs and animations, I just love expressing my edgy and vibrant style and also bringing people joy when they look at my art. This is my true passion and I always look for more inspiration and other creatives people to meet and share our creative vibes and pursuits. I am ambitious and energetic, just want to get all positive experience in life as the world has so much to offer. I read books all the time, mostly business, self-help and fiction, so I am very into personal growth and would meet like-minded people who develop themselves. I am an auto-didact so I non-stop teach myself new skills and always try something new, for example I learned entire 3D modelling and animation just by myself in less than one year.

I also actively do various sports, such as: yoga, beach tennis and currently I'm very into kickboxing. In winter I also go to mountains for snowboarding, I fuel my art with active lifestyle.

In general I am a positive, sanguine person and people like being around with me because it is easy and fun :)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

As I founded my design studio just a couple of years ago and it is still pretty small as a company, I go abroad for business trips to meet creatives, entrepreneurs, other businesses or just nice people for networking. It is fun for me and good for my business, it is more as a lifestyle even, but I don't have a big turnaround and can't afford hotels or renting places in expensive cities. This time I want to try couch surfing because I've heard many good things from my travelling friends, as they met a lot of very nice people and made great memories because of couch surfing.
