Principles

Start with curiosity

Curiosity is an opportunity. Embracing unexpected opportunities (what I call “happy accidents”) lead us to unique and innovative solutions.

Be a team player

Positive attitude and spreading joy. A supportive environment cultivates a strong team, leverages diverse strengths, and creates a meaningful impact.

Embrace aesthetics

Form follows function, but it should never be careless. Aesthetics is a purposeful craft, and craft reflecting care—from human to human.

Keep it simple

Simplicity is honesty. Continuously master the basics, focus on fundamental human needs, and communicate effectively to strengthen human connection.

Be authentic

Be bold yet humble. Be honest with your intentions, letting genuine passion and commitment shine through the design.
