Philosophy
My design philosophy is driven by a deep curiosity and a desire to explore every part of this craft. I’m committed to always learning, which helps me create designs that are sustainable, meaningful, and honest in their context. My goal is to design in a way that improves people’s lives and encourages them to respect the natural world.
Manifesto
Thinking
Feed your thoughts, and always look for inspiration.
Never stop learning, and be a good mentor.
Discipline is freedom, and freedom makes humanity thrive.
Good values determine the future.
Stay hungry and humble.
Knowledge must be democratic and open.
There's honesty and pride in hard work. It always pays off!
Trust your gut, but make informed decisions.
Endurance is the art of embracing pain. On the other side of pain, there's glory.
Play every day. In sports, with a piece of paper, in solitude or with others. Whatever you do, keep playing.
Culture is the most important lesson you'll ever get; learn it (Thank you, Mum).
Making
Purpose before aesthetics, but harmony is of the essence.
Every act of creation must respect nature.
Active listening and attention to detail make a great designer.
Research will always win, exhaust every possible probability.
Ask good questions, learn from your unconscious, and make ethical decisions.
Good business is essential, but better systems, economy and spirituality are fundamental.
When in doubt, use principles and laws of nature; they're never wrong.
Design is to plan, and to plan is to act, which is our social and political responsibility as humans.
Stop and change something if you don't feel passion for a project. To make good work, fall in love with your craft. Love is all.
The future is fully dematerialised.
