“If I had a superpower, I’d want to manipulate time, ‘cause there's never enough time in a day!”

“My friends and I were always stopped to ask where we got our clothes from, so we decided to get together to make clothes and create our own clothing line.”

“I do triathlons in my free time as I like to run and swim. My most memorable experience was a day-long marathon that I did in Hong Kong.”

“I like to read books for the lessons and wisdom I can take away, and not just the storyline. I’ll pick out quotes and write them down in my diary as well, so that when I feel down, I’ll read my diary to get some comfort and inspiration.”

“My wardrobe staple: a little black dress, as well as a really good pair of vintage Levi’s.”

“My motto in life: nothing’s embarrassing if you’re not embarrassed by it.”

“I never did art as a kid and my background is in film, but I just started building more things over the years.”

“When I was a teenager, my style was influenced by hip hop, and when I studied in university, it evolved to a fusion of a cowboy style with rock & roll influences. Now I try to dress minimally.”

“I always strive for excellence and try to have a good work ethic—it might not always be noticed but you’ll definitely feel an immense sense of pride and accomplishment for a commitment that you spend more than 70% of your life on.”
