💎 What I believe in and follow

Key Principles

My design approach blends 'Sense-Making' with 'Function-Building,' which leads to 'Form-Giving.' Beyond that, I strongly believe that soft skills are equally important as design methods.

🔁 How I Process

Iterative Loop

The design process is a loop that involves iterating by repeatedly incorporating new insights and feedback. I don't wait to start designing when delivering solutions; instead, I tackle design challenges from various inputs anytime I get new insights.
