"It was winter and I was waiting for my train at the station. I thought: 'How can I make this moment more enjoyable? How can I turn waiting into something productive?'

"I wanted to get [people] warm. Thus the exercise bike. And they should have fun and be rewarded. Creating the scarf. Warmth for warmth."

"I want to get people excited about making again. People want to do more nowadays. They are tired of social media and looking at their phones. It's all about spreading joy and making those boring moments more fun."
