I am naturally pragmatic, approaching every challenge with a hands-on, solutions-oriented mindset. Whenever I encounter a problem, I instinctively try to tackle it myself rather than relying on ready-made solutions. This has led me to build numerous models equipped with integrated lighting, 3D-print and hand-paint them, and even craft my own bicycle bags from recycled windsurfing sails instead of buying new ones. Learning to sew gave me the freedom to design exactly what I envisioned.

One of the most challenging yet rewarding projects I undertook was restoring my Simson Schwalbe motorbike from the ground up. Every time something breaks, I see it as an opportunity to learn and to test my problem-solving skills — even when I have no prior experience.

This pragmatic approach is at the core of who I am. I’m not afraid to roll up my sleeves and dive into unfamiliar or complex tasks. At the same time, I’m open to asking for help and seeking guidance from others, recognizing the value of collaboration and shared expertise. It’s this balance of independence and curiosity that drives me to keep learning and to find creative solutions to any challenge I face.
