being critical and

reflective

Sure, it's easy to ask for a pat on the back. But is that really helpful? For me, the real growth comes from digging deeper. Being my own toughest critic has sharpened my design eye. I've learned the value of really looking—not just glancing—and then looking again. And again. It's about meticulous examination, much like an artist refining their masterpiece. This self-reflection is at the core of my design practice. It's not just about making things look good; it's about making them work. And sometimes, that means asking the tough questions.

bringing originality and

It's paradoxical, isn't it? As designers, we constantly seek inspiration from the world around us, yet we strive for uniqueness. But that's the beauty of human creativity. Each of us brings a unique perspective, a personal touch, that no one else can replicate. That's what makes our work truly original. It's not just about following trends; it's about infusing our designs with a piece of ourselves. It's about being ingenious, finding innovative solutions that are both functional and inspiring.

decisive

being responsible and

Ever since I can remember, I've felt a strong sense of duty to contribute, whether it's a major project or a casual conversation. While I'm still learning the value of silent spectating, I'm also passionate about voicing my opinions. I believe healthy disagreement can actually strengthen a project. Some of my most successful collaborations have involved tough discussions that led to the most well-rounded solutions. That's why I'm always ready to take ownership of my work and make decisions that drive projects forward.
