Mobile or desktop first?
Always think mobile first - but in practice, it often works best to design desktop first (controversy, I know). Mobile-first thinking ensures clarity, focus, and a strong foundation. But when you begin designing directly for mobile, the constraints can limit your creativity. Starting with desktop gives you more freedom to explore ideas, layouts, and interactions without feeling boxed in by smaller screens.
That’s why my answer is: “Think mobile first - but start designing with desktop.” 👋🏼
Less or more?
Less - less clutter, less noise, less drama. 😄
Paper or pixel?
Well… both.
My brain needs both. Paper calms me down and grounds me. It gives me space to step back and see the bigger picture. And especially in photography, nothing compares - art on good paper is everything.
But then there’s pixel - the digital side. That’s obvious. The raster that connects the dots. The medium where ideas become interactive, adaptable, and alive.
In the end, I need both: paper for presence, pixel for possibility.
Analog or digital?
It all goes into the same box. Analog is grounding. The more digital our world becomes, the more I find myself drawn to analog. Notebooks, paper, pencils, watercolors. No smartwatch - just an old Casio. I need that simplicity, now more than ever.
But then… there’s digital. Of course we love it. It’s our daily second window - the space where we work, connect, create, and explore.
I guess I need both: analog to feel the world, digital to navigate it.
spaghetti or pizza?
Both. But if I had to choose one for the rest of my life, I’d probably go with spaghetti - topped with an unreasonable amount of Parmigiano.
next adventure, north or south?
Probably both. I love warm summer evenings, the ocean breeze, and swimming in the sea. But the north has something special too - a certain quiet, almost mystical feeling of space and loneliness. If I had to choose for my next adventure though, I’d probably head north.
work from home or in the office?
A tricky one. For me, it’s all about balance. I tend to find the most inspiration in places where I feel comfortable - surrounded by creative things, a clean and minimal desk setup, and a space that feels like my own. That’s where working from home really shines.
At the same time, the connection with people, good conversations, and a change of environment are things the office offers in a great way. So in the end, the ideal setup for me is probably an even mix of both.
Figma or sketch
As mentioned before, Sketch is the good old friend. It never let me down - solid, reliable, and backed by an amazing team. I still have a lot of love for the tool and the company behind it.
But when it comes to pure capability, Figma has taken things to another level. The intelligence of the tool, especially the way it handles design systems with variables and tokens, is a real shift. It feels less like classic vector UI design and more like a glimpse into the future of how design systems are built.
wine or beer
Classic one - but I’ll go with a good craft beer. Don’t get me wrong, there’s hardly a better companion to a nice dinner than a glass of red wine (except my wife 😃). But in the long run, the point goes to beer.
