Esperanto has been the hardest and the most rewarding project I’ve created.

I knew I wanted to do something to help people while traveling the world and I realized that I could use my design skills to do so. I decided to meet, photograph and interview one creative in each country I visited. I asked them about their story, their process and the industry they are working in. I later spent hours transcripting those interviews in order to create articles which I hope will give visibility to the creatives I interviewed and their industry. by showing several creative processes and ways to work, I also hope it will inspire designers from all over the globe.

With Esperanto, I want to show that we all speak the same language when it comes to design. I want to prove that everyone has an interesting story to tell wherever they come from. I want to show that we have more similarities that bring us together than differences that pull us apart. I want to shine a light on talents and design industries that are sometimes under-represented.

To build a side project, it’s essential to underestimate the amount of work required. It took me almost two years to do this project and I don’t regret any second I put into it. There is a lot of countries out there I haven’t been to yet so Esperanto will forever be a work in progress.

The world is not as scary as people tend to think.

Work hard, travel harder.
