Aram Khachikyan Yerevan, Armenia --http://aramkhachikyan.com Synopsis I believe I am a Craftsman, as a role in society or the human tribe. Crafting is my passion. And my function is to help people acquire tools and methods, to achieve their strategic or tactical goals or simply a better life. For me, 2 things are essential when building anything: visualization of the final result and unbreakable intention to finalize it. At the same time to be flexible and improvisational.
