Awww.. Luisa Luisa Luisa.. It has been so long and we see each other too little!

How have you been lately?

The best I can describe how I’m feeling right now is by telling you about my current mission my dear friend, which is to be so busy loving my life that I have no time for hate, regret, worry, fret or fear.

I’m fantastic. Thanks for asking!

Being a fashion designer in Flisa, (which is not known to be the city center of fashion);) how do you manage to be so creative!?

Where do you find source of inspiration?

The world my Pia! My mind is never here is always there… the people, their actions, my friends, and my family. I’m very lucky to have people spread all around the world that is eager to receive me in their life for some days every year. That’s my inspiration!

We have followed your steps building TagYourShoes. You have so many good ideas! Who is your idol? Do you seek advise with a mentor?

I have many idols, some I know and some I hope to know some day. The ones I admire the most are the ones that are changing the world with their actions. But my idol of all times is my badass grandma! She stands up loud and clear for what she believes, is independent, a feminist, a social activist, a designer...

About mentors I have many! All my friends and family are people I treasure not just for their hearts but also for they knowledge. I support my self in all of them! And I help back whenever I can!

What is your next step? What are your dreams for the future?

I have at least 10.000 next steps in my mind! Hehe But I think I can resume them all in one word: Tagyourshoes.

My dreams, once again are far too many! The biggest one would be to be

very proud of what I do.

Growing up in a Latin culture and now living in Norway, what do you miss the most from your country?

MY FAM! Every second of every day!

When dressing up for a day at the office, is it high heels or casual look?

There is a thing such as casual look? Hehe My grandma first working life advice was dress for the job you want! Since then I’m a high heels kind of person!

It's all about coffee!! Is it a love-or hate relationship?

Is actually a very new relationship, hehe

But I’m learning to love it!

We are always looking for new creative to follow! Can you recommend someone?

I love the new site of Blake Lively, Preserve Us. Lots of American handy craft and local designers!

We have to do this more often! (As we have said now for so long!)

But, we will for sure follow you moving forward! At what website can we find you? Maybe you have instagram, twitter and facebook page too?
