What is the best thing that I love about my work?
That it allows me to connect dots: ideas, people, and technologies — and turn complexity into meaningful stories through text and visuals. Because good stories help us feel, connect, and make change happen.
What is my idea of happiness?
To wake up with a sense of purpose. To be deeply engaged in what I do. To feel love — and to give it. To create something meaningful. And to see beauty in small things.
What is my greatest fear?
On a micro level — losing curiosity and becoming indifferent.
On a macro level — waking up one day and realizing that we live in a technological singularity, where everything is unprecedented and humans have fully lost control over their lives.

Sometimes I hesitate too long — I feel too deeply and overthink. But I’m learning to trust the first spark.
Which living persons in my profession do I most admire?
People who work at the intersection of art, technology, and philosophy. Those who combine creativity and ambition with care and empathy.
I admire Marina Abramović, Elizabeth Gilbert, Annie Leibovitz, and many others.

Superficiality — when tools are used without reflection or purpose.
When and where was I the happiest, in my work?
Many times — when I saw that what I did genuinely helped people.
If I could, what would I change about myself?
I would trust my inner compass faster.
I would ask for help more freely — and learn to receive it with joy.
What is my greatest achievement in work?
Building a practice that connects art, AI, and human stories.
Writing books. Taking part in meaningful charity projects.
And more recently — helping a group of teenagers win with their idea through emotional storytelling.
Where would I most like to live?
Somewhere with art, good coffee, and kind people.
A place where different cultures intersect. Ideally, a place that values creativity, tradition, and slow thinking.
What is my most treasured possession?
My ability to observe and ask questions.
What is my most marked characteristic?
Sensitivity and curiosity. And the ability to connect dots that seem invisible to others.

Bernardinų Sodas — a park in the Old Town with a truly magical energy.
What is my favorite place to eat and drink, in my city?
Small, calm cafés in the Old Town where conversations can unfold without rushing.

They are the engine of my personal change.
