Directions are considered,
paths are made,
progress is recorded,
and lessons are learned,
to shape the world we know.
Value evolves from an embryonic stage.
To me, a designer engages the world for a better tomorrow one step at a time:
To find the right means to tell the stories that matter;
To listen and reflect on a daily basis;
To keep moving forward and refresh one’s understanding;
To embrace different cultures and socio-economic circumstances;
To maximize impact with minimal resources, showing gratitude for our world and her residents.
I try to listen carefully to my emotions and search for richness to life and desires of the soul.
A design will become complete in the minds of people.
When the value of a work transcends itself and springs from the changes it causes in the state of mind of its audience,
the new value is born.
