I always see design as a way to connect people with their surroundings. And in my philosophy, design should be simple, enjoyable, and engaging. As a designer, I intend to explore the future of language and the relationship between objects and humans. I’m curious about the motivations behind interactions and people’s behavior. Enjoy exploring the emotional connection between people and objects, making products alive, and being talkative.
