Creative producer Patriks Kirkils is the founder and director of Bourzma, a platform for sustainable fashion and youth culture. Together with like-minded colleagues, he wants to promote a circular approach to fashion and encourage young designers to share their creative vision with a wider audience. Until April 6, applications are open for the fashion show, which will take place on May 21, the first day of the Bourzma Boutique festival, in a former bank building in the Riga Old Town. In the Nice Touch section, Patriks talks about a virtual space for developing ideas.
«I use Cosmos.so as a space for visual thinking. It works similarly to Pinterest but is much more aesthetic and advanced.
When I start working on a new project, I first write down keywords related to the specific idea on paper, and after about 15 minutes of reflection, I turn to Cosmos. I use each keyword as a starting point — I search, explore, and collect everything that resonates. Gradually, this forms the material I can use to start putting together and refining my ideas. Cosmos makes it easy to save my finds on the internet, so nothing interesting gets lost on the way to the final concept.»
Patriks Kirkils is a creative producer who brings his ideas to life in both physical and virtual spaces. He is the co-funder of not only the sustainable fashion and youth culture platform Bourzma, but also of the multimedia production company MNB Production, which creates immersive experiences and other digital solutions.
