Building What Doesn’t Exist Yet

I’ve always been drawn to things that don’t exist yet — the ideas that live somewhere between “impossible” and “maybe.”

When I was younger, I used to take apart old gadgets just to see how they worked. Half the time, I couldn’t put them back together, but I loved the mystery — the feeling of being on the edge of understanding something new. That same curiosity now drives how I see business and innovation.

Every product, startup, or solution begins as a question: Why hasn’t anyone done this before?
That question excites me more than any answer.

In my eco-jewelry project, I didn’t just want to make pieces that looked good — I wanted to design a model that made sustainability practical, not just trendy. In IB Business Management, when we studied strategy and change, I saw how companies like Netflix or Tesla reinvent entire industries by challenging assumptions others accept. That’s what I want to do — build ideas that solve real problems and reshape how people think.

I don’t believe in waiting for “someday.” Innovation starts when you stop asking for permission to try. And if something doesn’t exist yet, maybe that’s just a sign that I’m supposed to build it.
