• I consider that design should be responsible as well as creative; hence designers should not only open the possibilities of new life to people but also be more careful about what they are doing.

  I like to make things that are good to look at and can be used intuitively. I hope people can live with my work and, together, they can make their own stories, rather than me making stories for the works before they reach their users.

  I respect the power of hand craft even in a massively manufactured society. Consequently, I ultimately wish my works can grow with an appropriate function, beauty and passion.
