The nose behind A Blvd. Called Sunset.

HIS STORY

What gives you the greatest sensory pleasure? My greatest pleasure is when something appeals to and satisfies all of my senses. I am a multisensory person. I love music, love to eat and drink well, love beautiful fabrics and textures, and of course I love scents more than anything else. I think if I had to do without any of my senses, I could probably give up the ability to see most easily – although, wait, what am I saying? I love seeing beautiful landscapes, beautiful people and especially beautiful women!

Where do you personally find inspiration?Everywhere, all the time. It's like they say: inspiration feeds inspiration. It’s like a muscle that has to be kept strong. I can’t go through life anymore without allowing myself to be constantly inspired. Just walking around can be enough – being open, letting yourself encounter different things, people and moods.
