Before you freak out, yes, I do go by ‘Andro’, but if you are so inclined to address me by my four-syllabled Greek name, it’s pronounced [An-dron-ik-us]. Now that we’re on a first-name basis, I should start by letting you know that I daydream. A lot.
Sometimes it’s what to cook for dinner, and other times it’s whatever my recent obsession is. So far, I’ve gone through fountain pens, medium-format cameras, pour-over techniques, and most recently, 4K monitors (you’d be surprised how much there is to learn).
Still, a considerable amount of time is spent daydreaming about the dozens of briefs that never seem to solve themselves. As a multidisciplinary creative, the ability to explore different mediums make the pursuit for ideas a thrill I’ll never get tired of. Despite that, I have yet to crack the code for foolproof ideation, so daydreams will have to do for now.
With that said, the next time you see me dazed and staring off into a nearby wall, know that I might just be thinking of my next award-winning idea… or Instant Pot recipes.
Don’t be a stranger
