I love to challenge myself and design different creatures. I am looking forward to taking good ideas from various fields, using them in different situations and always pursuing the fun of design.The reason I want to become a designer is because I would love to deliver happiness to people throughout my artwork and design. Since I was a high school student, I have discovered that I love to design.

wuui is a design studio that specializes in interior, graphic, cg and product, which also gathers people from many different countries. In our lives, we tend to change our lifestyle because of human and things around us. However, we can't always achieve it for many reasons, even though that is the lifestyle we want. Therefore, we hope that we could help you to see the results of achievement through our design. In the future, wuui will also have more people from different cultural backgrounds and customs join us to help people around the world through many ideas and contribute to the community. ​

Design is to improve people's lives. You can experience it more differently, conveniently and efficiently.

I like to design many kinds of things. Especially Interior Design. I want to create a space that impresses people.

My favorite design is about CG and Motion graphic design. I have many favorite designers and works. I like to see and enjoy their process and finished product. It inspire me very much.

My favorite material is wood. Nature makes me feel more comfortable. platform is Pinterest. I got many ideas from there. Technology is 3D printer. You can create things and use it at anytime, in any place.

I always watch some CG or motion graphic design video before I started doing design work. I get motivated and have good ideas after that.

No matter what the design is, I will pursue the details the most. It makes the whole design looks better. Even though no one notices it.

Depends on how much time and hard work you spend on it. I will start by doing research and open to different opinions and feedback from the people around me. Information comes first before the design starts.

Every design should have a concept. I will like to focus on it first.

Everything made in this world is related to design. The items made by designers are seen and used by many people. Therefore, designers should also consider whether it affects the people who use it and the environment when designing. The appearance of good things has a great impact on society.

Design in this era is very common. I think the future of designs are often unpredictable. I feel so excited about that.

I had my last exhibition in 2017 at Japan Osaka. It was my first exhibition and I did it with other designers. I always want to have my next exhibition. I hope I can do it very soon in Italy.

My design inspiration comes from several design platform. But I usually watch some CG tutorials or Motion Graphic Design videos on Youtube. I got a lot of good ideas from it.

I would like to say my design style is clean and simple. There are several brands that made me explore more this style when I was a student. I love them so much. Such as Muji, Nendo, Ikea etc. Simple and basic are the best for me. I always start my design from it, and then I will add more details on it if needed.

I was born in Malaysia, But I stay in Japan. Yes, I do feel the cultural heritage of Japan affects my design very much. For example Japanese style home. There are many overseas’ brand furniture and consumer electronics that can‘t be built and used because of the sizes or the rules set by the government. But there’s many kind of modern Japanese style nowadays, it allowed us to do more creative design on it.

I had been working with several companies since my studio started. They usually offer me to do CG, Interior design and Graphic design works. Since working with a company may involve various departments, I sometimes get different jobs from different departments too. At that moment, I learned a lot of new things and was able to expand my horizons.

Working out with a designer I would suggest they focus on a specific field that will be able to improve project’s efficiency and quality. To select a good designer, besides looking at his ability. You can find out more about his Correspondence of work and personality.

Example: Research > Sketch > Sketch meeting > Drawing software (Illustrator, Cad, C4D etc.) > Drawing meeting > Correction / Finish I usually have at least 2~3 meetings with my clients doing the smallest project like logo design. Big projects such as renovation need more.

I start my day by waking up my daughter every day. She is my daily motivation. After that I start doing my work and having meetings with my clients. Sometimes I will go for exhibitions during the day time. I usually will end up my work around 6pm every day, and spend the rest of my time with my family.

Design is not only good or bad, it considers how many people get affected and how long your design lasts for. Before evaluating it, make sure it has a strong and good concept. The concept is the main part of the design, and it’s very important. Besides the functions and ease of use, we should pay more attention to the concept.Try to find something to motivate you before thinking of new ideas, you will have better results with a good mood.

Because of the culture, Designers are still not seen well in Asia countries and always get not understood with their work. But it is getting better and I think in the coming few years there will be more people paying more attention to it.

Never stop learning. It is the best and most important skill, it helps you to stay active in various fields. Besides, study and see more other designers’ experiences and their artworks. It will help us in developing our skills.

I’m using Cinema 4D, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Vector works, After Effects etc. Nowadays I’m using Ipad pro for sketching and graphic design. I have many kinds of design books, but I usually have my inspiration from some Designer’s youtuber.

That’s true. I usually do all my work during the day time. If I can’t finish my task, I will rearrange my time table to finish it. I will definitely finish all my work before the deadline.

It depends on what project. For Dond, It took 2 weeks from beginning to end. Beside design, I had to 3D print out and do multiple test combinations on it.

I had a very special project in my previous working studio. Is about to design a medical equipment. It tooks more than 6 months to finish everything. We had no idea about medical equipment, so it was very difficult for us to design, but it was a good experience. We learned how to work out with various manufacturers and how to combine different materials together etc.

3D design. I love making 3D works such as interior spaces, products and 3D animations. Because the technology of 3D software attraction is so strong to me.

I love making 3D works, I hope one day I can be a professional 3D Designer. And do a better presentation for all my clients.

I develop my designs myself for now. Looking for a partner as well.

I’m having several projects right now such as logo design and homepage design. If I get a special project I would like to share with you in my homepage.

I graduated from Osaka Mode, Gakuen Japan. Major in Interior Design course. I love to challenge myself and design different creatures. I am looking forward to taking good ideas from various fields, using them in different situations and always pursuing the fun of design.

I often find my ideas and inspiration through motion graphic design video, CG, and online samples. The reason I want to become a designer is because I would love to deliver happiness to people throughout my artwork and design. Since I was a high school student, I have discovered that I love to design.

My design artworks include interior design, product design, graphic design, and 3D modeling. The type of design I wish to design more of is 3D modeling or rendering some cool scenes for my client.

Don't be afraid to showcase your artwork & talent, expose yourself on the internet or any award competition. You and your work may get the chance to be seen.

A good designer provides 100% of good work and people feel happy about that. A great designer provides more than 100% of good work and it makes people feel touched for that.

To evaluate a good design, it considers how many people get affected and how long your design lasts for. Before evaluating it, make sure it has a strong and good concept. The concept is the main part of the design, and it’s very important. Besides the functions and ease of use, we should pay more attention to the concept.

Good design not only helps to improve our lifestyle, but it also affects the whole society and the environment. This is why I think it is our responsibility to invest in good design.

I’m open to collaborating with any design studio. I would love to try to explore more in furniture joint parts design or CG animation etc.

My dream project will be advertising video and short animation. This is not my major but I would love to give a try on this.

I often seek opinions from different people, especially those who are not in the design field. So that I can get inspiration from the stories of people who work in different fields.

The designer masters that I got inspired by are Ando Tadao, Kuma Kengo, and some of the others.

One of my greatest designs is Dond, it is my first time using a 3D printer to create the joint parts for the furniture. My goal for Dond is to take part in a consumer everyday needs and to enjoy an easier lifestyle for any occasion regardless of indoor or outdoor.

My recipe is to keep learning and improving yourself. Even though I’m a designer now, I still keep improving and learning every day in order to be better. Meet more people, think more, and the reason behind each of the designs. It helps to train your thinking skills and get more ideas while doing design.

I think I would become a writer. I always want to become a storyteller.

For me, design is to improve people's lifestyle and make them feel happier.

My family and my friends are my biggest supporters. They always encourage and motivate me to become better.
