FS: Could you please tell us more about your art and design background? What made you become an artist/designer? Have you always wanted to be a designer?

FS: What kinds of works do you like designing most?
FH: I enjoy collaborating with other people; creating collections. The process of combining my design from a clients mood board.

FH: I love working with semi precious stones and leather.
FS: When do you feel the most creative?
FH: I feel most creative when I am surrounded by nature.
FS: Which aspects of a design do you focus more during designing?
FH: How the piece will feel on, not only comfort but weight.
