Statement

"At the age of 14, I started traveling by myself. I've been to places across Asia and Northern Europe. I experienced these cities by walking down the streets, and silent, solitary moments gave me a chance to observe people in a quiet way. I was always fascinated by how people intuitively interact with daily objects in different cultures.

So, I design small moments.

As a designer, I love giving people small “ ! ” moments. These moments are always in our daily lives; we just overlook where they are. I love to redesign every day objects through different lenses. I am inspired to design objects for people to discover their own "!' moments."
