Designer Interview

My design ideas come from memory of my childhood and fantasy novels and movies. My passion for art from my childhood naturally leaded me into the design world. I knew that something was different from others when I was a child and knew that I could express my emotion by creating art works.
When I am in my quiet room.
I focus on my emotion and it is my priority whenever I design.
It is always different every time I design something.
My designs are my children so I feel precious about them.
I think a design that expressed artist's passion is a successful one.
The effort.
I think designers are leaders of culture so they should express positiveness and it is important responsibilities.
My major sources of inspirations are fantasy movies and novels.
I love having fun with my design so I like to play with many different colors. My design style can be described as "maximalist"
I am currently living in Paris which is the central of fashion. It does affect my feeling and design.
I would say be brave and continue do what they believe. It takes time to be recognized in the design world so be patience.
