A lifelong art enthusiast, I've made my way into the fascinating world of hi-fi and home theater. My trusty headphones are my constant companion, turning every journey into a private concert where I enjoy my favorite podcasts and catchy playlists one after the other. From rock and jazz to soul, rap and pop, my musical and cinematic tastes are very varied. If I'm not drawing or reading, I'm probably watching Friends, which I rewatch every time I finish the last episode.
