The main inspiration is the 1940s and 1950s. I have always been inspired by that era of media and the nostalgic feeling it invokes. I am also inspired by my travels. I have moved around Europe a lot through my life. The different places I have lived have always stayed with me. The different cultures and the traditional design that comes with it.

We are totally against using AI. AI is not only negatively affecting the environment but also causes job loss. Creativity comes from people. AI takes others work and repackages it rather than creates new. We wat to add new idea not take from others.
