00:01Inspiration is whatever you have within you.
00:06You have to listen to what you want to do and just go for it.
00:12I'm Alex Proba and I'm a multidisciplinary designer.
00:16I can't choose one medium to be happy.
00:19I need to do a rug, I need to do a poster, I need to do site architecture.
00:24One of my biggest projects is a poster day.
00:26I started it just because I always had this problem showcasing my work.
00:31And when people were saying, your work is great, I was like, nah, you know, it could be better.
00:36Every year I say, that's the last year.
00:38And when it's the last day of that year, I'm like, no, I can't.
00:45At one point doing the posters, I was just like, I don't want to be known just for my posters.
00:52One easy step for me was like, I want to make textiles, I want to make rugs.
00:57I feel that was like something in me that told me to do it and no one else.
01:02And I feel that's inspiring enough.
01:12If I'm really like in the weeds of not coming up with an idea or not knowing what I'm doing,
01:16I actually go out into the nature and I go out into even just like my block here and walk
01:21around.
01:22And those things inspire me.
01:24Rather than looking around in the world what other people are doing, comparing yourself to it,
01:29it's just like actually doing what you think is right.
01:31If you don't put your work out and if you don't, you know, try things out, you never know if
01:36it's a success.
01:37I don't think that there's something like amazingly genius in the process I work that just I can do.
01:44I think it's just about like, you know, not being afraid of failing and just like figuring it out and
01:49going for it.
01:51Extraordinary is to be okay to fail.
01:54Extraordinary is to be okay to fail.
01:54So, see, if you want, let me follow this out and let me know.
01:55Ha, ha, ha!
01:56Be sure to be okay to fail.
01:56So, don't believe in the rest of the world, I will say something like this.
01:57So, I will always be in love with the people that are still here.
