I have always been interested in how people make sense of the world. Long before I learned to name disciplines or careers, I was drawn to stories, sounds, and images that carried something unfinished within them. I read not to escape but to understand. I listened to music not only for pleasure, but to notice how emotion travels without explanation. Over time, these instincts shaped the way I think, work, and live.
My academic training in English Literature gave form to this curiosity. Literature taught me that language is never neutral, that every sentence carries a history, and that ideas are shaped as much by silence as by speech. Studying texts from different cultures and periods helped me see how nations imagine themselves, how power circulates through narratives, and how meaning changes when it crosses borders. This training sharpened my attention and gave me the habit of asking why things are said the way they are, and who they are meant for.
At the same time, my professional life led me into the world of marketing and strategic communication. What interested me there was not growth alone, but people. I wanted to understand how trust is built, how language shapes perception, and how cultural difference alters interpretation. Working in this field taught me how ideas move in real time, how narratives are tested by audiences, and how responsibility matters when communication reaches thousands. It also taught me the limits of purely functional thinking. Numbers can explain outcomes, but they rarely explain meaning.
Parallel to this path, art has remained a constant presence in my life. Music, writing, drawing, and film are not hobbies for me, but ways of staying honest. Through years of formal training in music and visual arts, I learned discipline and patience. Through composing, performing, and writing, I learned how expression can carry what ordinary language cannot. Art gives me a sense of slowness in a world that rewards speed. It reminds me that depth still matters.
I move between these worlds naturally. Literature informs how I listen. Music shapes how I feel time. Marketing trained me to think about audiences. Film taught me how context changes everything. Travel and collaboration across cultures have shown me that understanding is always partial, and that humility is essential when engaging with difference. I am comfortable in complexity, and I trust questions more than conclusions.
What connects all of this is a belief that culture is not an ornament of society, but one of its foundations. It shapes how people remember, how they imagine the future, and how they relate to one another. My work, in whatever form it takes, is driven by a desire to stand at the intersection of meaning and structure, creation and responsibility. I am still learning how to do this well. That, perhaps, is what keeps me moving.
