philosophy

As an industrial designer, I dedicate a significant portion of my time to envisioning and creating the future today. My design philosophy is rooted in the belief that true innovation requires thinking beyond the immediate and daily concerns. To achieve my goals, I must anticipate and shape the way we play, what we play with, how we live, and what we live with.

I push the boundaries of design by focusing on future possibilities. My work is not just about meeting current needs but about exploring and realizing concepts that will define tomorrow. My intentions are to create products that are functional, aesthetically pleasing, and transformative.

I have a deep appreciation for tactile products—keyboards you can touch, knobs you can twist, technology you can feel and play with. These elements bring a sense of physical interaction and engagement to my designs, making technology more accessible and enjoyable. I believe that the tactile experience is crucial in creating products that resonate with users on a human level.

At the heart of my design process is lateral innovation. I borrow existing technologies and pioneer new ones, always seeking to find creative and unexpected solutions. Inspired by Gunpei Yokoi's philosophy of "lateral thinking with seasoned technology," I leverage mature technologies in innovative ways to create groundbreaking products. This approach allows me to blend the familiar with the novel, resulting in designs that are both practical and visionary.

My visual and design language is characterized by a playful approach. I create technology that feels like a toy—sophisticated yet playful. This playful aesthetic makes my designs approachable and engaging, while maintaining a level of sophistication that ensures they are both functional and fashionable.

My projects are investigations on future possibilities.

These designs are a series of explorations into potential advancements in various aspects of life. I delve into the future of play, examining new forms of entertainment and interaction. I investigate the future of living, considering how our environments and daily objects can evolve to enhance our lives. Through these projects, my intentions are to create innovative solutions that will stand the test of time.

My commitment to envisioning and designing concepts that will shape the future drives my process. By thinking ahead, I develop products and environments that improve the quality of life and inspire future generations.

My goal is to create products that are not only functional and beautiful but also transformative and forward-thinkingm, products that inspire and enhance the lives of those who interact with them, leaving a lasting impact on the future.

Adventure Awaits...

with love + imagination
