Quiet Noise

Although Samantha has a penchant for deconstructed, and oversized clothes, she warms up easily to the people she meets. Her carefully curated wardrobe hints at her dream: to have her own boutique and café, preferably in London or Paris. “I love travelling because that’s when you discover yourself, and the people around you,” she says. “I always feel different after a day of meaningful conversations and travel. You see things differently, from fresh new perspectives. It’s like a blind spot — you have to move to clear your view. Otherwise your vision will always be clouded and skewed.” At work, Samantha’s only worry is that she’ll reach a point when she gets overwhelmed, and she loses her drive and purpose in life. Her antidote is to take each day as it comes. “I always make it a point to breathe after working hours,” she says. “Let tomorrow worry about itself. Even your worst days only have 24 hours.”
