BE
INSPIRED BY THE
WORLD
Travelling is a large source of my inspiration. This book showcases a collection of photos of some of my inspiring finds, found during my travels. I have a passion for travelling and love how different art and design is around the world. Inspiration can be found in so many different things, even the mundane ones. I love finding unusual colour ideas and architecture, which Rotterdam had a lot of.
“YOU CAN FIND INSPIRATION IN EVERYTHING, AND IF YOU CAN’T, LOOK AGAIN.”
