My mother has an artistic background that I learned from her since I was a child. I loved drawing and crafting models, I started to draw since I was 5 years old, I spent many hours during the day holding my pencil and drawing everything I see, I remember drawing my first perspective for our home kitchen and I was only 5 years old. I entered and participated in too many drawing competitions and won a number of them. I loved art and Architecture this what made me join the architecture school in my town because I loved the design I always wanted to become a world-recognized architect and designer
Can you tell us more about your company / design studio?
After finishing college I always wanted to establish my own business, so I started to think about marketing my name as a brand and a new architectural studio through my work and participating in world-recognized competitions. Mohamed Yasser Designs is a start-up studio, I believe it will take time to be recognized, but hard work and talent always help the designer to prove himself and has his own character in his designs.
What is "design" for you?
Design is a way of life, everything in our life has become a reality through good design. It is the secret ingredient of how people live, work, enjoy, and learn, so every detail in our daily life is a design process.
What kinds of works do you like designing most?
I like designing new and innovative ideas of small projects, I also like interior and product design
What is your most favorite design, could you please tell more about it?
The Square Housing Unit, I love this project, because when I started to design it an inspiration came to me when I was searching for some applications of nanotechnology in architecture that could help me in my master's, "I told myself, there are lots of homeless and refugees, why I don't try to design a small housing unit with common materials "shipping containers" and fit it with technology and be a sustainable, healthy and smart unit and designed in a way that you can assemble a new residential group that also takes no place. The Main formation of the project units is derived from the Tetris game that depends on a specific unit shape which has the features to create different formations from this unit. each unit is like an L shape and they are all fitted together to create a shallow cube with central court-inspired from Islamic and Arab traditional houses architecture which provides privacy and airflow for the units to provide a natural ventilation system
Which aspects of a design do you focus more during designing?
when I design I always balance between form and function both of them are essential elements for developing a good design
What kind of emotions do you feel when you design?
when I design I always feel enthusiast watching my ideas become reality even if they won't be physically implemented but I am happy to see them finished as a result of my imagination
What makes a design successful?
I believe that successful design comes from a meaningful strong concept that applies in all the parts of the project beside consideration of aesthetics and functionality
When judging a design as good or bad, which aspects do you consider first?
From my architectural point of view, I always Judge the Design language first
From your point of view, what are the responsibilities of a designer for society and environment?
I believe that a successful designer is the one who manages to integrate his design with the society and environment, which means when he designs he should think of the people and how they are going to benefit from such a design, also the environment should be the main element in his design, and this means his designs should be environment friendly and not to harm and destroy the nature.
How do you think the "design field" is evolving? What is the future of design?
Design is an evolving field every day there is something new and technology has gone so far in all the fields of design making our life easier and smarter. I think that the design field has a lot of impressions and potentials coming in the future.
Where does the design inspiration for your works come from? How do you feed your creativity? What are your sources of inspirations?
I always get inspired by old civilizations and their fascinating architecture, I keep searching and learning new techniques and ideas of how they design during their time, I feed my creativity through searching, watching, and learning from the old and the new as well. Today our sources are countless but I usually get my inspirations from books, movies, videogames, documentary films, and magazines.
Where do you live? Do you feel the cultural heritage of your country affects your designs? What are the pros and cons during designing as a result of living in your country?
I live in Fayoum, in Egypt, there is a cultural heritage varies from ancient Egypt civilization to Islamic architecture and now the modernism style started to spread in new cities in Egypt, but Fayoum is an old city and one of the negative points is that the city suffers from the vanishing of architecture identity, this affects the design process and the architect needs a lot of effort not in design also on the human psychology.
Can you talk a little about your design process?
design is a set of different processes starts with a briefing process in which I begin to search and analyze for the data that could help in the design, then comes the process of Ideation and concepts in this stage I begin to develop hand sketches of the idea until I reach a satisfying result of the idea, then becomes the design phase in which the details and technical part take place, and finally the presentation phase, in this process the project is presented in form of renders, animation or physical models, this depends on the project and the design type.
What are 5 of your favorite design items at home?
1- Project Model for my first project in 1st year in the architecture department 2- Marvel Characters Clay Models I made last year 3- Metal Model for Effiel Tower 4- The Ceramic Model of Historical Lighthouse of Alexandria, which was one of the wonders of the world. 5- Origami Crafts
Could you please share some pearls of wisdom for young designers? What are your suggestions to young, up and coming designers?
I am still a young designer, but I believe in the power of innovation that comes through unstoppable learning and searching in the fields related to design, every designer should work on himself very hard to improve his skills and intellectual thinking.
From your perspective, what would you say are some positives and negatives of being a designer?
the positives of being a designer are the renewal of ideas and innovation, a successful designer is the one who never stops to improve himself and keep up with the latest technologies and keep updated. the negatives I think that being a designer, not an easy way, it's full of obstacles and hardships and needs a lot of work, learning, and improving the intellectual thinking of a designer.

I have a collection of Nat Geo magazines that help me learn new things that feed my brain also there are catalogs and books in architecture.
How long does it take to design an object from beginning to end?
it depends on the type, size, and function of this object the bigger the project is the more time it takes

- I like designing iconic projects that have their unique look and artistic touch because in such projects you can put your touch and imagination - residential projects like villas and mansions, because there are challenges between form and function that make the designer unleash his design powers to create a masterpiece of work - small projects or I call them small helping projects, ideas for projects that provide help for people and the community.

What are your priorities, technique and style when designing?
when it comes to a project design I start the project with the briefing and data gathering that we can call studying the project, then after this the concept development process I start to link the data and studies with the ideas in my imagination, I usually use hand sketches to do that until I reach the desired concept, then with the help of software and digital tools I build up my design model and rendered scenes for the project and in some cases, I can make the physical model, and finally the final phase is the presentation in which I present my work according to the project requirements.
Which emotions do you feel when designing?
When I design any project or product I always feel happy and excited, and of course, the most exciting part is the final part when you see the project complete, but I personally enjoy all the stages of the design process and the concept development.
What particular aspects of your background shaped you as a designer?
I think Architects and designers should have an innovative thinking mind, hand-drawing ability, creative problem solving and an imaginative character all of those characteristics are important to make a creative architect because the role of the architect is to think and innovate outside the box, design for the people and for the world, having these abilities can create a successful designer that nothing stops him and keep innovating in his designs achieving the balance between aesthetics and functionality. my parents have the most influential part of my design work. It was and still a hard journey there is a lot to learn I am still beginning my journey and I am sure I will prove myself as an influential designer one day. believe in yourself and work hard and you will reach the peak.

I start my day by watching the latest news in architecture and art while listening to some relaxing music, then check my list for the tasks of the day, then after I finish I spend some free time watching movies or playing computer games to get rid of any stress that may affect my thinking, I try to avoid routine in my day changing working time to feel the change and not repeating the day every time.
How do you keep up with latest design trends? To what extent do design trends matter?
social media now make it easier to reach for the latest trends around the world, I usually look for the latest trends through architecture platforms and websites and mobile applications, also in galleries and exhibitions in my country. Design trends are important because trends to affect the people now quickly more than ever before, so architects and designers should keep up with the latest techs and trends to be updated and create new innovative ideas and solutions in design that benefit and enhance our lifestyle.
How do you know if a product or project is well designed? How do you define good design?
for any product or a project, there are some elements that are so important to be achieved function, quality, and aesthetics, those three should be integrated into the design to achieve balance and success to the project or the product and the users should be satisfied if those elements were applied. good design is the design that is full complete from the concept to the implementation by applying the design philosophy, materials choice, style and aesthetics

I like Mies van der Rohe's design school that applies the quote "less is more". If I were given the chance to talk to a dead designer it will be mimar Sinan and Frank Lloyd Wright. one of the most iconic designers of all time is the Mimar Sinan. I admire Zaha Hadid, Santiago Calatrava, Oscar Niemeyer, and norman foster.
