While he was in Europe, Pepê learned that the paradigms exist, but can be broken. He assimilated other forms to create that demonstrated themselves as a differential for his job and led him to a more refined project style. Nowadays his worries include the comfort, esthetics, ergonomics, history, aggregated price, usefulness, practicality and price of the pieces he design. In 2015 he decided to open his own studio with the headquater in Curutiba-PR, that will allow him to create pieces with his most pure and evident DNA and will enable the creation of new interesting partnerships in the design field.

"Merhaba, ben Ezgi Gökçe. Kim olduğumu ve neden önemli olduğumu sordunuz. 3-4 yaşlardan beri sanata olan ilgim beni şekillendirdi. Oyuncağım oyuncak bebekler değildi; Her zaman kağıt ve kalemdi. Bu tutku hayatım boyunca devam etti; Sadece sanat ve çizime odaklandım. İnsanların yaşadığı mekanları şekillendirmekten keyif aldığım için iç mekan tasarımını seçtim.
