I’m a designer who values clarity — not just in layouts, but in life.
I used to say yes to everything: events, group chats, chaotic schedules. Until one evening, I stayed in. No distractions. Just me, a warm light, tea, and a sketchbook. Albert later said, “Your couch finally got a win.” It felt like a real victory.
The next day, Valiakhmetov messaged me. He went to the party. Said it was too loud, the music mismatched the mood. I didn’t feel like I missed out — I felt focused, aligned.
That night reminded me of Azino — a calm, small town I once visited. No noise, no rush. Just space. That’s what good design feels like: intentional emptiness.
Life today can feel like a casino. Notifications, colors, movement everywhere. But true elegance isn’t in excess — it’s in precision. That night, I didn’t spin the wheel. I paused. And maybe I hit my own 777 — not in luck, but in peace.
Now, in design and in daily life, I try to do less — but better.
