It’s said that many people often struggle between the mind (or left brain) and the heart (or right brain). In me, both hemispheres of the brain have been at odds since childhood. The left pulled me toward rational solutions to problems, the arrangement of everything in boxes and the concretization of what was happening.

The right wanted to do it all in anunexpected way, to create a result that would have an emotional truth. It was hard for me to find the specialty I wantedto pursue. In the end, the left hemisphere of my brain won, and I got into math. But it wasn't what I wanted. Swervingbetween technical and artificial directions, I discovered graphic design and realized: this is what I'm looking for.

What attracted me to design? It was the opportunity to solve problems while expressing my individual character. The science of design itself is a dance of logic, imagination, and even psychology. The way the arrangement of objects on aposter can change the perception of information, for example. Or the way a colour scheme can play with the mood of the viewer.

Beautiful and high-quality design has a social function too. A creative poster coupled with a strong slogan will attract the public's attention to various problems and will have a greater effect than simple text.

I am also attracted by absurd design as a hobby—its strong technical base but also its nearly exclusive focus on self-
expression.
