When i started to work professionally as a designer my client is not really sure about choosing me as their architect.
So on my first presentation i intentionally put a very bad image render and design. He was very nervous seeing all those really bad design until i revealed in the middle of the presentation that it was all just a joke. The project become a very successful one and i became a best friend with my client until now

When i sit with my team and talk about design philosophy
Being angry all the time when i design

I am a confidence person since my very early age

We become a different entity. More to a God like, but not a God

I am here to make the world a better world with my design. I want people to smile and enjoy my design

Design is a plan

Selfish and brave project.

Apple products like iPhone and Macbook. I always fascinated by the term of total design. Where everything fits perfectly into each other without people even noticing at beginning. I was blown away by the beautiful engineering the design team at Apple does inside of their products. People might not see it, but it's the beauty of Total Design

A Private Residential House. We called it The Cellular House

Apple ecosystem

When it rains

Geometry. I believe that the beauty of the geometry will represent and act as the visual representation of my thinking. That level of detail would have made a deep impression on the few people that would have seen the inner structure.

Proud and Sad

Empathy towards the owner

Geometry and Moment

Bring the positive vibes and messages.

It might be gone with the AI advancing really fast.

I analyse than inspired.I am not creative, everything is just connecting point for mePeople's life

- Silent killer- I like when the design looks so simple yet it's so complicated to do- Design is not a linear process. It's a loop process.

- Indonesia- No- Pro : everything is cheaper, cons : you have to know everything by yourself to make your design a reality

- Generally good, i always more to a strategist than a designer. It helps me to understand the way company want to run their business

- Choose the one who got the same vision with your company. If you managed to find one, shut up and let them work. Trust them.

I always start with finding the grandest picture of the circumstances before talking about the detail

Unpredictable

Don't talk too much, just work hard everyday until the day you can talk come.

+ : No one can dictate your life- : You are just a small part of the grand design

Understanding the value of every factors in the design

Being analytical

Paper and Pencil

I tend to cut all those time consuming task by thinking instead of doing something.

For a Private House it takes one year
