Do you feel like you have a lot of freedom to create whatever you want?

Having my own workshop means I benefit from working with technique and expressing my creativity at the same time. I basically can make or design whatever I want. In order to do so, I have a network of people around me who contribute to it, so that I can reach my full potential.

To what extent is your work solely technical, and how much creativity is involved?

I have a background in automotive and mechanical engineering and therefore the skills and know-how of working with metals, including cutting and welding. But instead of doing it myself, I rather choose others to do this specific work for me. I let a painter paint, a welder weld, let people who master their job do their thing. I like every process from scratch till final product. However, seeing and feeling the final result is the most satisfying part of my job.
