Design Process
Essence
Every project starts with an idea in my mind that evolves from an abstract thought into tangible designs, through sketches and material moodboards.
Substance
Form and shape play an important role. Yet it goes beyond mere aesthetics to ensure that the design serves its intended function effectively and resonates with its audience on a deeper level.
Balance
Striking the optimal balance between forms, colors, and finishes is crucial for the success of a product. Each element plays a vital role in shaping the overall aesthetic appeal within a broad audience.
