Being able to do what I am good at, loving it, and getting paid. That is my perfect combination.

What is the trait that I most deplore in myself?

My perfectionism. I’m always working to get even the smallest of details looking great.

What is my most inspirational location, in my city? I don’t leave my room much, so a lot of my ideation goes on in my room, but if I had to choose another location, I’d go with the coffee shop near my house called Jitterz. We all know how good coffee shops are for doing homework in a nice environment.

Which movie would i recommend to see once in a lifetime? There’s so many, I’m a huge cinema geek but if I had to pick one…I think I’d go with Fight Club. I recently saw it for the first time and the reason I chose it is because I believe it illustrates the society we live in today and how we are in an endless circle of money and material very well. It’s a little weird at times but I believe it’s a good flick.
