          1. What makes you unique?<\/strong> Being very cold, unemotional and detached from people; I am also against wearing socks from the same pair.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. What is your idea of perfect happiness?<\/strong> I\u2019m not sure perfect happiness would exist as a permanent state\u2026 rather, a moment of pure bliss for me would be being in a museum with all my favorite artists (Kahlo, Gogh, Klimt, Pollock, Monet, Magritte, Dal\u00ed, Vermeer) open at night with a concert in the hall by any of my favorite bands (I think Sigur-R\u00f2s + Pollock would be quite poetic) with all my friends and only interesting people who have lived and come from all over the world, and no one would talk during the concert but afterwards contemplating the art. Open bar and pets welcome. I am also very happy in the woods, or in contact with nature, and feel very much in my element, but I always travel with books and music as they take me to that \u201cblissful\u201d state. Ps: I hope this survey is to get ideas for a surprise birthday party \ud83d\ude0a<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n

          4. Which words or phrases do you most overuse?<\/strong> “The ones who want, go; the ones who don\u2019t want, tell someone to go.” (Makes more sense in Portuguese I guess). “The hand that puts the thing in the wrong place is the hand that puts it in the right place.” You know how you leave the house\/office, you don\u2019t know how you arrive. (Again, hard to translate!) “Your problem does not define you, the way you handle it does.” (Just realized they are all from my grandma and my mom, scary revelation).<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
          5. If you were to die and come back as a person or a thing, what would it be?<\/strong> An elephant. But I had to still be left-handed (or left-tusked, in this case).<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
          6. Where would you most like to live beside your current city?<\/strong> San Jose or Medell\u00edn.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
          7. What do you most value in your friends?<\/strong> Honesty, fun, and how we are the same together whether we lived together for a few years or haven\u2019t seen each other for months.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
          8. Who are your favorite artistic minds?<\/strong> Very hard to pick so\u2026 if I was to have dinner at a Decodiva Table<\/a> with anyone dead or alive from my favorite artists (trying to pick one of each field): Kahlo, Monet, Liszt, Le Corbusier, Niemeyer, Rufus Wainwright, Salman Rushdie, Hannah Arendt.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n

          10. What is your favorite part of working at KOKET?<\/strong> There\u2019s a tie here: traveling and meeting\/talking to clients. I really enjoy going to new cities and countries (even I don\u2019t have time to go sightseeing) but my favorite thing to do even in the office is talking with clients, over the phone or in presence. I wish I could do that all day long.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            10. What is your favorite part of working at KOKET? <\/b>I love working for a company that is so much more than it seems. \u00a0Yes, KOKET is a beautiful and luxurious furniture brand, but that is just the beginning. \u00a0As a KOKET employee, I am exposed to so much more than that; I often say it\u2019s the KOKET World. I get to experience how our brand and CEO are out to make a difference and empower people. Each addition to the KOKET brand is thought out and included for a reason. Janet has a mission of where she wants to take KOKET and I love being part of the ride. It empowers me to be behind a brand that pushes me to learn, grow, and evolve. I always say that just when I get comfortable, something gets thrown at me and I love that as well. I don\u2019t have a chance to get bored. I am consistently learning new things and growing as a professional, but also growing as an individual. I am proud to stand behind a brand and CEO that pushes and cares about me as a person and is on a mission that I am part of.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                    2. What is your idea of perfect happiness?\u00a0<\/strong>My idea of happiness is directly dependent on family, friends and personal fulfillment. In my opinion, we can only be happy when we are surrounded by people we like and who like us. Personal accomplishment is what makes our day to day move and what will create challenges and goals. Each one of these things is essential to happiness because it makes one move the other, we are only happy surrounded by whom we like, but also we are happy only if we did what we like and for that we like to has on our side who support us and be with us.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n

                    4. Which words or phrases do you most overuse?<\/strong> There is no good that always lasts or bad that never ends. \u201cLute com determina\u00e7\u00e3o, abrace a vida com paix\u00e3o, perca com classe e ven\u00e7a com ousadia, porque o mundo pertence a quem se atreve e a vida \u00e9 muito para ser insignificante.\u201d – <\/span>Augusto Branco<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    5. If you were to die and come back as a person or a thing, what would it be?<\/strong> If I died and could choose how I would return to life, I would choose to return as someone who would make a difference in someone’s life, being in the medical, scientific or volunteer area. I wish I could help and make a difference even without being acknowledged, just knowing that I helped someone and that that made the person happier.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    6. Where would you most like to live beside your current city?<\/strong> In addition to the current location, if I could choose, I would choose to live near the sea, as this would make it possible to recover energy for the next day in a calmer way. The calm of the sea and the noise of the waves are my best way to recharge energy.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    7. What do you most value in your friends?<\/strong> Friends are not those who tell us what we want to hear but rather what we need to hear. For me, a friend is the one who has the courage to tell me what they think and feel without being afraid to hurt, because to like someone is to give our most sincere and convinced opinion that we are doing the best for the other and helping them, to develop it.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    8. Who are your favorite artistic minds?<\/strong> There are some people in the various areas who tell me something or who I consider to be exemplary within their area but there is one who by his insightful madness tells me a lot in his art. Fernando Pessoa is definitely one of the Portuguese poets that tells me a lot.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    9. What 3 words come to mind when you think of KOKET?<\/strong> Empowered women. From woman to woman. Will to win.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    10. What is your favorite part of working at KOKET?<\/strong> My favorite part of the job at KOKET is that every day is a new challenge and the team is so good, strong and cohesive. The work at KOKET is appealing because every day I am exposed to new situations and that somehow oblige me to create new forms of action and resolution.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                      1. What makes you unique?<\/strong> For me, this is a very difficult question to be posed with. There are so many different things and traits that make everyone unique. How can I be different from every other person on the planet? I consistently live in the present, and always look on the bright side of things. I do my best to encourage others and spread good vibes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                      2. What is your idea of perfect happiness?<\/strong> There is no such thing. Happiness comes at times and in places you do not expect. If you were to perfect happiness, you would not appreciate anything because you have never experienced the sadness, rage, and other raw emotions life has to offer. Happiness changes with you. One day someone or something that makes you happy may not cut it the next. Happiness is erratic and spontaneous and that\u2019s just the way I like it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                      3. What 3 words best describe your personal style?<\/strong> Sassy, classy, comfortable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

                      5. If you were to die and come back as a person or a thing, what would it be?<\/strong> A Bengal cat. They may be domesticated, but still have their primal patterns and quirky characteristics. You never really own<\/i> a cat. They have their own minds, pride and freedom.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                      6. Where would you most like to live beside your current city?<\/strong> Somewhere remote, but with a strong wi-fi signal. Somewhere I can walk to my mailbox naked and not have to worry about who\u2019s watching.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                      7. What do you most value in your friends?<\/strong> Humor! What good is a friend you can\u2019t share joy and laughter with?! That is just a real-life LinkedIn connection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                      8. Who are your favorite artistic minds?<\/strong> I love anything big, sparkly, over the top, and hilarious. My current art crush is Ashley Longshore<\/a>. Everything she does is bold, bright, and brilliant. She also does Lil Wayne pop art, and let\u2019s be honest- it\u2019s fabulous. When it comes to fashion, every time I pick something off the rack and think, \u201cWow I LOVE this!\u201d the tag always reads the same name: Michael Kors<\/a>. His designs are practical, stylish, and comfortable. In the interior design world, Studio Munge in Toronto has my heart. Every project they complete exemplifies their extreme passion for design. There is not a project they could not master. From bold, dark, all-over patterns, to clean simple lines paired with a unique light fixture, Studio Munge is my design dream team.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                      9. What 3 words come to mind when you think of KOKET?<\/strong> Passion, empowerment, and drama.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                      10. What is your favorite part of working at KOKET?<\/strong> I love watching a design blossom. When a project comes together and those final photos come in with a KOKET piece front and center, and another peeking in from a distant room in the background, I act like a kid on Christmas. The versatility of our pieces constantly amazes me and I love seeing them fit into so many different styles.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

What makes you unique?<\/strong> Oh, \u00a0It\u2019s a very hard question for me, but I think as an interior designer I used to drive to complete a task, no matter how difficult. And \u201cI really enjoy learning new things and find that it\u2019s easy for me to pick up on required skills.\u201d Also \u201cI truly enjoy excelling and pushing myself. I look forward to tasks where I can learn and grow.\u201d <\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                      2. What is your idea of perfect happiness?<\/strong> If you are happy – everything would look perfect! It\u2019s as simple as that.

Aren\u2019t we all one-day butterflies, not aware of time. Searching for partners or honey until Death kisses us. Then in his arms, tenderly rocked, waiting for a new chance to fly away again and join the dance of the one-day butterfly.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                      6. Where would you most like to live beside\u00a0your current city?<\/strong> Bali<\/a> \u2013 Indonesia. \u00a0BALI IS PARADISE ON EARTH.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                      7. What do you most value in your friends?<\/strong> My friends are very important to me, with them I can laugh loudly away from the stress of busy life. They understand me a lot, listening to me and encouraging when I feel down.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n

Who are your favorite artistic minds?<\/strong> Frank Lloyd Wright- 1867- 1959. \u201cThe mother art is architecture.\u201d \u201cWithout an architecture of our own we have no soul of our own civilization.\u201d \u201cA doctor can bury his mistakes but an architect can only advise his clients to plant vines.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n

My favorite part is as an interior designer – sharing my clients in their thoughts, giving some suggestions and watching the project grow like a baby. Then the greatest moment is when the client sends me a picture of their project. I also love the company culture and enjoy working with everyone. Also, I love working at KOKET because it allows me to gain a lot of knowledge.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                                          \n
                                        1. What makes you unique?<\/strong> I believe that being unique is something a person can\u2019t hide because we are all different, doesn\u2019t matter if we like it or not. What makes me unique is that. <\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                        2. What is your idea of perfect happiness?<\/strong> If perfect is even a thing, I would say my idea of perfect happiness is knowing the world is at peace. I know that sounds cheesy but I honestly would feel content and at ease if everyone, everywhere, is at peace with one another.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                        3. What 3 words best describe your personal style?<\/strong> My personal style is everywhere because it solely depends on my mood for that day. But if I have to pick 3 words I would describe my personal style would be simple, trendy, and nice (for a lack of better words). I am the type of person that likes to keep in elegant but there are times that I like take a risk with fashion and try different looks.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                        4. Which words or phrases do you most overuse?<\/strong> Ummmmm, words that I overuse? \u201cUm\u201d is one, I think a little too much of what I say which makes me pause a lot when speaking. \u201cOh my gosh\u201d is another classical phrase that is on repeat and I tend to say \u201csorry\u201d a lot too, even when it is not my fault.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                        5. If you were to die and come back as a person or a thing, what would it be?<\/strong> I would love to walk in every person\u2019s shoes at least one, but if I have to choose a person or a thing to come back as it would be the one and only Marylin Monroe. I have a great admiration for her as a person even with her tragic death and bad reputation.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                        6. Where would you most like to live beside your current city?<\/strong> I would love to live in Honolulu, Hawaii. Unfortunately, I have never been there but it\u2019s nice to dream about it even though people say that going on a vacation somewhere and living there is very different. I wouldn\u2019t mind doing interior design on an island in the Pacific, with the beach at my feet, and hibiscus flowers outside my window.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                        7. What do you most value in your friends?<\/strong> I most value honestly in my friends. I expect them to be open and truthful with what they tell me, even if it\u2019s something that I don\u2019t want to hear.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                        8. Who are your favorite artistic minds?<\/strong>\u00a0This is tough to answer because I honestly don\u2019t have a favorite \u201cartistic mind\u201d in any of the departments it consists of. I am everywhere when it goes to what \u00a0I enjoy and like so I can\u2019t and don\u2019t place myself in one category.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                        9. What 3 words come to mind when you think of KOKET?<\/strong> Desire, glamorous, and empowering.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                        10. What is your favorite part of working at KOKET?<\/strong> My favorite part about working for Koket is the mission behind the design of each piece. To empower others, mostly women, to love and aspire to do great things is something that I stand for myself so, through Koket I can have a greater voice.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
