Who are you (the long answer, no cheating by just giving your name!) and what is your profession (as in, how do you define it, rather than just the job title it has)?

I’m Najib from Somalia, but I moved when I was 15 years old. I lived in Italy as a refugee and then moved to Paris. I actually don’t have any professional skills but I work different jobs like sewing tutorials, at a restaurant, … and now I work at the same time with my designer friends, just to learn something.

Who would you confine with?

With my brothers and some of my friends.

 What's your work-from-home style?

I wake up early in the morning. During these days I draw a lot whilst watching Netflix and cooking.

Tell us something about yourself that isn't on your resume (a secret skill, a hobby, a previous job or fun fact about you).

I do photography and dance, and I’m interested in all things vintage.

What's the first place you'd want to go when it's safe again to travel and go out?

The first place I’d want to go to when this is over would be Italy I think.

Who is in your fantasy Zoom party (Skype or FaceTime)?

I think it was last week, me and my friends did a home-drink over Skype. Really, it was a lot of fun.
