Where does the design inspiration for your works come from? How do you feed your creativity? What are your sources of inspirations?

Where do you live? Do you feel the cultural heritage of your country affects your designs? What are the pros and cons during designing as a result of living in your country?
I try to use past experiences to read the signs of time, to find out what represents our society. At the same time, it is important to me to make new experiences in order to inspire future work.
Can you talk a little about your design process?
Experimenting can be inspiring- this is how the idea for the project "nuno" came up. It also can bring a certain playfulness to an existing concept. A project can start as an experiment or with a concept or both at the same time. The setting, the previous experience and the knowledge decide on the order of the process.
