01Bonsai and the art of leaving out. I have kept bonsai since 2022 and had the honor to learn from several bonsai masters. Years of small decisions, most of them about what to remove. It taught me the question I ask of every design: not what can I add, but what can this hold without breaking.

02Ultra trail running and the long game. On a trail, the distance is too long to win on willpower alone. You read the terrain, pace your energy and keep moving when it gets hard. That is how I run long projects too: steady, attentive to the ground beneath them and with enough left for the final stretch.

03KOMO coffee and the craft of fine-tuning taste. In 2025, during my studies, I opened KOMO: a specialty coffee concept store and my living lab for new ideas. I built the webshop and lead a team of four. Through coffee and Japanese art workshops (suminagashi), growing a following within the subculture of specialty coffee. Every concept I try gets tested by real people on a daily basis.
