My name is Ari, I’m 18 years old and originally from Latvia. I’ve always been passionate about art and design, and over time, this passion grew into a clear career goal. To pursue my dream, I moved to France and currently study design at a university in Paris. Living in a new country has been both challenging and rewarding — it’s helped me grow personally and creatively. I’m working towards becoming a professional designer who creates meaningful and functional work. In the future, I hope to open my own studio and collaborate internationally.
