Visiting a textile factora, whether it is a vera clean and organised mill in Switzerland, or a not-so-clean and 'very different' organised one in Asia, always makes me happy. I get very excited and inspired seeing high-tech machinery, as well as traditional craftsmen. at work. When working with a company I always want to understand how everything is done, and I learn new things with every visit.

Before working in textile industry, he produced articles and materials for textile magazines and trend agencies.
