She works in a large studio which is quiet and sunny,  surrounded by  other workshops of graphic designers, artists, photographers, and other artists; "Everyone works hard, but not tense. It looks like a big, well-built ship." She loves this  ambiance of her workplace that allows her much independence;  "there have been cases of young graphic designers come to work with me. It was very good. "
