When I was younger, I never imagined myself studying business. My world rotated around art and creativity — painting, drawing, and exploring new ways to express myself. As I grew older, I naturally followed an artistic path, attracted to innovation, pushing creative boundaries, and breaking norms.

But like many people in their early twenties, I felt uncertain about my future. Making a stable career in art can be tough, and passion alone doesn’t always pay the bills. At some point, I had to face reality — finding a balance between doing what I love and building a sustainable future.
