The look and theme.

As a designer we are responsible to make the things that we designed has a greater purpose for enriching people's lives.

The design style at the moment is challenged with the limited amount of space meanwhile with the "new normal" it is mandatory to has that safe distancing from one and another.

From the places I have traveled and also online references.

Indonesia. Yes the culture of where I live definitely effected the style. Pros : There are many traditional elements and materials that can be combined with modern theme. Cons : If we are unable to find that perfect balance between the two, the end result would be not great.

I'm doing well.

Companies should know whether or not the designer still has space to grow, fit the company culture, and has the knowledge of what currently and future design will be.

Understand the brief and requirements, study the limitations, concept, and deliver
