I SOMETIMES FEEL THAT I’M REPEATING MYSELF.
& THAT BOTHERS ME.
AFTER MANY YEARS,
I MADE A NEW WAY FOR MYSELF TO DESIGN THINGS
& I BECAME MY OWN COMPETITOR.
IT’S HARD TO BEAR.
I KNOW WHAT I’M SAYING SOUNDS SILLY.
BUT BEING A DESIGNER MEANS THAT YOU GET WELL-KNOWN,
YOU SUCCEED IN YOUR BUSINESS,
YET GET TO BE A GREAT CREATOR.
IT’S VERY HARD TO COPE WITH.
YOU HAVE TO BE A PART OF THIS WORLD
& AT THE SAME TIME KEEP YOUR DISTANCE.
ONE QUESTION CONSTANTLY PICKS AT MY BRAIN;
AFTER THIS,
WHAT CAN I OFFER THAT’S NEW?
BUT I UNDERSTAND NOW THAT
PEOPLE DON’T WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THIS SIDE OF MY LIFE.
IT TOOK ME TEN YEARS TO UNDERSTAND THIS.
