What's on your mind right now?
A lot of things are on my mind right now; I think it has something to do with coronavirus. I feel like I need to keep busy all the time to think about something else. Interior design takes up a big part of my life, and I'm constantly working on new projects at home. At the same time, I'm in the process of starting a small business, which also takes up a lot of my time. It's nerve-racking, but I'm very happy that the things taking up my time are things I love. I feel very lucky.

What does balance in life mean to you?
Balance means a great deal to me. It's difficult to have constant balance in your life, but that's why it's also extremely important to appreciate the times when you do. It took me a long time to find balance in my life, but I've learned that the most important thing is to stay true to yourself and, in certain situations, prioritize your own needs. The way I find balance isn't necessarily the same way the people around me find it. At the same time, it's also super important to accept that “shit happens” and that your balance can go out the window, but instead of getting completely down about it, just say, well, okay then, let's try to make this work instead. And that applies to both my work life and my personal life.

What does balance in the world mean to you?
Oh, that's a tough one... It might sound a little cliché, but in my world, balance means that the people around me are doing well. But on a larger scale, balance means getting our planet in order. There are many things that are difficult to change, but fortunately, we have the opportunity to change the way we affect our climate, and I think we're incredibly lucky in that respect. The Earth is really giving us a chance to fix our mistakes. And it's not that saving the climate will fix all the other things that are out of balance around the world, but it's certainly a major factor. Because as long as we keep treating the planet the way we have, our lives will become more and more out of balance too.
