A classic question: How did you come to know about Fabrica?
I was teaching product design in Japan, and a few of my students were interested in Fabrica. So I looked into it, and applied.

What were you doing before coming here?
I was working on a retail design project for Louis Philippe, which is a men’s clothing company in India. Prior to that, my (five year) work experience (mostly in new York) has a large range; product design, interior design, set design, event design, illustration, professor, brand strategist, taxi driver, and dentistry.

What was your trial period like... nearly a year ago?
No, I get my period every month.

Why such a long wait?
Many reasons: It’s just the way everything worked out. And all for the best.

How do you expect your life is going to be now? Anything you're looking forward to or fearing?
I have a severe allergic reaction to anything tomato based, olive oil, and gelato.

Any shout-outs or anything you'd like to say to the people in internet-land?
I’m OCD, PPD, NPD, dyslexic, have acute agoraphobia, am slightly delusional, with occasional back pains. Sorry, I don’t give advice.
