Primary design concentration:
Make nothing gimmicky!
Most preferred tool for designing:
My brain.
1. How and why did you choose to
become a designer?
Enrolling in a private boarding
college.
To interpret (through my design) how I see, touch,
taste,
smell, hear...
2. Challenges you encounter as a
designer and how do you deal with them?
Personally, I regard good design
(the end product or service itself) or the process
that leads to it as a challenge that comes with the
territory regardless of the scale of the design in
question as long as it satisfactorily serves or it's
used to fulfil its role. Thus, I use this theory as
a guide and justification to always make good design.
3. Your definition of an “elegant
solution,” that is, good design?
Anything regardless of its scale
that satisfactorily serves or is used to fulfil its
role and appeals to one's senses.
4. From skills to values, what makes
a designer successful?
I’d say both.
5. How do you stay motivated and
grow personally and professionally as a designer?
By aspiring to satisfactorily say
‘Thats it!’ at the end of an arduous creative
process. I am open to constructive criticism or debate
about my work.
6. For those aspiring to become
a designer, whatever the discipline,what is your advice?
Believe it or not, some people will
either like or dislike your work: Just have the majority
like your work.
7. What is your quest in design?
Finding and expanding on the vocabulary
that may be used precisely to appreciate design. After
a while, the ‘It is interesting...’, ‘Wonderful!’
and so forth do not sound so realistic...
