Yes, that is the real way to living the life on the limit, some people think needs to jump a building with one rope, its wrong ;-P
I hope in a near future I could be work for more big brands doing what I most like, my own style with full colored swirls. And find time to traveling the world.

Different, please. Maybe an rock star, soccer player, something with more budgets :-)

You worked both as a freelance designer and in an agency with great success. But as we know, you prefer working as a freelancer. What do you think a person should do to make his or her own agency more famous and greater?

Contract good employes, needs heads up and some others to produce well, and sometimes need to invest in projects without budgets just to get more prestigious. Famous become from great projects realized, but sometimes that projects you received almost nothing in money.

You worked for great companies like Volkswagen, Audi and Pepsi. Which project excited you most? (Can it be the wonderful Havaianas? :)

Havaianas, of course. I had the Havaianas design in mind before I get the briefing, I saw the colors before I start to use them, I start to design Havaianas in Black and White and I was not worried to put them, because I saw them all time. The ideas is flowing, my style was born and everybody around me who looks to my screen was wondering with the small details. I did with Havaianas website what I had in mind, sometimes need to do some adjusts I dislike, but it's normal. If I would have a chance, I would make again.
