What motivates you?
My dissatisfaction.
The best advice you have ever been given?
When you sit inside all day, you feel too big in relation to the space. That changes as soon as you venture outside.
What are you learning right now that you still have to get good at?
Patience. And tattooing!
What would you chance if you had the power to do so?
Decolonise the fashion industry and its power structures! And with it: living wages for all fashion industry workers, starting with the production of raw materials on cotton plantations.
Which superheroine power would you like to have?
A photographic memory would be handy!
