Zita has always been interested in people who create value in their field, so we've started a new series of articles in which you can get to know them a little better - people we've fallen in love with.
Our love is not at all unfounded: Printa crushes are perfectly aligned with both Printa's philosophy and visuals. The women featured in the series have significant community-forming and inspiring power: with their work and their entire being, they make the world a more livable, beautiful and sustainable place.

What is your main goal that you want to achieve in the next 5 years?
I don't like to formulate specific goals, especially not talk about them, because so much can change and evolve even in an instant... I'd rather write about a feeling about the direction I want to find myself in over the next five years. For sure, I want to get to know myself and the world even more deeply and more focused, this means a lot of learning and attention, which I want to do humbly and persistently. Getting to know the human soul and deeper thoughts has always been my biggest concern, and I want to put this into a more specific form. I want to awaken my creativity, which is currently starting to bubble up in me in many forms, and in this way I want to inspire people to dare to try new things and thereby get to know themselves.
What does creativity mean to you and how does it affect your life?
For me, creativity equals self-knowledge and courage, because I think being creative is essential to allowing the feelings that appear in your deeper layers to be directed towards some outline. Creativity is a self-identical, liberating force, which is not a simple, but all the more valuable concept. Practicing the art of creativity is part of my everyday life, and I am very happy that I have created space and time for all this.
How do you practice sustainability in everyday life?
I admit that I would like to deal with the idea of sustainability much more, but at the moment I am still just getting to know a lot of things. What is certain is that in both dressing and even eating, I have noticed in myself recently that I am becoming more and more conscious, not in response to external pressure, but in response to an internal need. I think we owe this much to our Earth, since it gives us everything wonderfully, and I believe in the power of the cycle, so we have to share/give back this service somewhere.
How would you describe your style, how has it changed in the last 5 years?
Huhh, it's a tough question, because if I just look at the past few months, my style and dressing style have changed a lot. Right now, I really enjoy being able to express myself in a more feminine and even sexier way through my clothing. But I know that this is also a big adventure on the path of self-knowledge. What's certain is that I love comfortable, unique and extravagant pieces and when it comes to sustainability, I want to increasingly turn towards that in fashion and my dressing style! Perhaps the one sentence that I could use to sum up my style is: constant change and experimentation with new things.
Fun fact! Tell us something interesting, strange or funny about yourself!
Let there be a story that happens in and around me in response to these questions: I am in Guatemala in a beautiful, fairytale setting, sitting on the shore of a lake, sipping my morning coffee. I think about how perfectly the nature around us is in a unique way, even though I always thought I was a “big city girl”, but here I realized that the most fulfilling and homely feeling for me is in nature… And surprisingly, I feel like I have arrived home on every level. I have found a stability within myself, and I can now pair this feeling with locations, and this gives my soul confidence and happiness!
