Professional beliefs
What does it take to be successful?

- What is your work philosophy?
I have two of them. One is "it could always be better" and the second is “between want and need”
- What does it take to be successful?
For me, it’s on stop work and learning. Communications and the right environment is the best tools!
- Does your job make you compromise with something or make sacrifices?
Well, I can not say I'm sacrificing, for me it's rather "pin of priorities". Yes, this day, it’s taking me a lot for my self-work, but I'm happy to be in the flow of my dreams.
- Professional / social network
I have my portfolio in Behance and my website for customers, I will navigate you with the links

That’s a really big matter for me in my daily work flow, and happy to have the best colleagues and employer ever. In this environment, I feel like we are friends with the same hobby.

I'm trying to stay focused to minimize them, but since I'm a human, I'm accepting it and moving forward.
