I am inspired by both evening and early morning light, rainy days, love stories, poetry, modern classical music, art museums and people.

The story of how I met my husband also involves a wedding: We were the best man and maid of honor.

I've loved books since I was a child, and I have far too many unread books. But I believe books are like wine: there's a right moment and the right mood for each one.

When I love something, I love it with all my heart.

I love city trips. In Vienna, I fell in love with the architecture and history. In New York and Paris, I felt like I was in the middle of a movie. And Barcelona has held my heart ever since I lived there for six months. High on my bucket list: Copenhagen and Rome.

My favorite places, when I'm planning to truly relax, recharge my batteries and find inspiration? Mallorca and the Salzburg region in Austria.

I love the aesthetics and feel of analog photography. For me, it's a way to romanticize life.

I am both introverted and extroverted: I can be very open and sociable, but I also need plenty of time and peace for myself. Ideally with a book and a good matcha.
