Tetsugaku Sasahara

Statement

I’m the type of person that would go above and beyond and do everything in my power to shatter all expectations. Growing up, I remember vividly being so incredibly fascinated and touched by the power of gifts received from those who I held dear to my heart, like the turkey sandwich lunches packed by my mom everyday for school and the stuffed animals I received on Christmas from my little sister. These moments made me realize that experiences can make timeless bonds with emotions and memories. My duty and purpose is to recreate these simple, powerful connections between people and my creations. I strive to create influential designs that are familiar, but fresh, and deeply touching at the same time. I want to make people's lives not only easier, but better and happier.
