What’s your morning routine before work?

I have a Nespresso and a cigarette, then I hit the gym. After, I have a protein shake.

How do you decide what to wear in the morning?

I base what I wear on who I need to be that day. I consider what I want to convey: strength, approachability, creativeness, youth, experience, and so on. Having said that, I don’t put too much thought into it, it usually just comes together naturally. 

Three items you can’t live without?

My MacBook, my watch and coffee.

Three things you hate?

Indifference, mediocre, and excuses.

What’s your personal motto?
