Sophie Wijaya

Statement

What is richer than life that has inspired humans to invent? Our daily experiences, which are seemingly mundane, hold thousands of secrets to great design solutions. In the right hands, such insights will flourish into something bigger than life itself. I readily embrace this challenge, and take pride in my ability to influence change.  I believe with great design, lives can be improved and transformed. I design for living.

Ever since I was little, just going around the ‘next bend’ on my bicycle, I have always loved the adventure of travel – the unknown, something different, something new. And I feel the same way today – anxious on my ‘next bend’ for the new chapter of my life; graduating from my product design education in Art Center.

‘Next bend’, as I have before, I would listen and learn, design with passion and live tenaciously.
