What is Marie Sophie’s creative process like?
“I get my inspiration from around the globe, letting my travel experiences, personal relationships, and connections spark new ideas. When I’m surrounded by creativity, ideas flow naturally. When I’m working with a specific brand, I begin with in-depth research on the brand and its target audience to define and uncover key insights, combining both thorough research and external inspiration fuels my creativity.”
