What does ultrapractical mean to you? To me, being ultrapractical means ensuring that financial processes serve rather than hinder creative work. I liaise with internal teams as well as external suppliers and clients to ensure the smooth expedition of invoices and expenses, maintaining the financial flow that keeps projects moving forward. My focus on developing efficiency and streamlining processes within Orms reflects this ultrapractical approach—identifying opportunities to simplify complex procedures, reduce administrative burden, and increase transparency in financial reporting. By creating intuitive, reliable financial systems, I help ensure that our architects and designers can concentrate on delivering exceptional projects while maintaining sound financial management.
