Usually it's the time before sleep..so I always doing sketches at night.

Which aspects of a design do you focus more during designing?

To me, "Function follows form" is the absolute truth. Function is the most important part of my design. I also consider the form a lot, since beautiful designs bring beauty to life. A good design is the design that achieves both.

What kind of emotions do you feel when your designs are realized?

Very proud, and I wish other people would like the products as I did.

From your point of view, what are the responsibilities of a designer for society and environment?

A designer is more like a writer.

Reusing materials and using recyclable materials would greatly benefit the environment.
