What is the thing that I dislike the most in my work? The lack of knowledge of how elements interact with each other realistically, and how to stylize that.

When and where was I the happiest, in my work? When “work” was about going through the journey of creating something just for the purpose of improving, and not to create a product or result.

What is my greatest achievement in work? Being hired to one of the best studios in the world as my first job.
