How to start?
“How to start?” seems to be a question that we hear a lot, especially when it is related to pursuing your dreams. Niko went for a path that is less typical since she was young. With her experience in studying at Design Academy Eindhoven, internships in different countries, teaching in HKSC, and now running her own ceramic/ design studio in Hong Kong, she will be sharing with us her stories and how did it all start.
