For these interviews, we pick people who add value to our community \u2013 in the blog, in the forums, in the projects. Plainly \u2013 activities that make crowdSPRING a better community. Be professional, treat others with respect, help us build something very special, and we\u2019ll take notice. We\u2019re very proud to feature Svetlana (crowdSPRING username: Allmond) today. Svetlana\u00a0 lives and work in Sofia Bulgaria. 1. Please tell us about yourself. To be honest I don&#8217;t have the slightest idea (how I happened to be in the spotlight) why I am in the spotlight. It&#8217;s nice to meet you. My name (translates into) means &#8220;light&#8221;. There are scattered letters in my left hand, and northern wind in my hairs. I imagine the light, I spend my time playing the space clockwise and back, searching for the meanings, reaching for horizons, wondering why do we alibi only for what we\u2019ve done, and not for what we never dare to do. I live in Sofia | Bulgaria | (Southeastern) Europe. 2. How did you become interested in design? Do you remember the magic of the dark room, the way the images appear on the white paper&#8230;? I was in love with photography since I was13. As I graduated MA in Fine Art Photography, I was flying for a private air company, and working as a TV presenter for a photography edition. A teacher of mine used to say that living on a peninsula we&#8217;re (torned) torn between the water and the land. My heart was torn in few directions and neither of them was enough for itself. I think that the design gives the best opportunity to (see in your mind\u2019s eye) envision in the most creative way ideas, visions and traveling &#8230; of brain mind, a perfect (symbiosis among) connection between water, land and air. 3. Which of your designs are your favorites and why? First of all I have 2 favourite design projects &#8211; my daughter Ema (8) and my son Dimiter (almost 6). They never stop inspiring me, teaching me, (ushering me into the land of creativity) showing me how to be more creative. It&#8217;s amazing how we can discover the world through the eyes of the children. About my graphic design projects &#8211; certainly I try to give my best for every single design, and I feel happy \u00a0and satisfied when my works are appreciated. I always say to my clients that they have to be 100% happy and comfortable with the result, so this is what matters to me &#8211; when a good idea finds the right way to show off. Not everything I like is what the client likes, so what is important is that we meet in between. &nbsp;"}
