Who or what inspired you to make comics?

I'll go first! 

Stan Lee was a huge inspiration for me and my career in comics. His storytelling, with its mix of relatable characters and extraordinary worlds, really showed me what was possible with this medium. Watching how he built Marvel into a creative powerhouse and pioneered the idea of a shared universe made me realize the potential of comics not just as stories but as a business. His collaborative spirit and the way he brought comics to life in film and TV pushed me to think bigger with Arcana Studio, expanding into animation and other media. Stan wasn’t just a role model; he was proof that you could turn your passion for storytelling into something truly lasting and impactful.
