PROUST QUESTIONNAIRE – PEOPLE OF DESIGN VERSION!

What prescient youthful memory relates to your present career?

I was born into a family of entrepreneurs. The promotion and influence of design were big busi-ness venues. I find myself therefore fulfilled in this association as a partner with designer Jaime Bouzaglo. Under this creativity, I lead the project development and especially communications and media.
