I believe that good design is not just a simple solution to a particular problem but also an expression of oneself. It is very important for me to understand the fundamentals and track down the roots of different things in order to create something new. It must not fail giving the consumer a significantly life-enhancing function to its user for it makes lives better, more fun, and richer. "Design is a process. It is something that evolves free from trends and style, but it’s direct in life."
