Statement

My first passion is to be a designer, but I also have a passion to become a comic artist. I believe good design comes from impressive storytelling. The exciting part about being a designer is that we have the ability to create a "life" for each individual product by giving each of them a unique personality.

Design can be found everywhere simply by looking around in our ordinary daily life. Design is how we define the true nature of objects we place in our life. We need design to find harmony in life, even with simple ordinary things like size of a cup or the shape of a door handle. Observing people as they live and interact with products provides important insight for producing good design solutions. Product design needs to be constantly updated to stay relevant as our lifestyle changes with time.

My approach to design involves observation of our lifestyles and living environments to keep my thinking open and flexible, which channels my creativity into new design possibilities.
