Creating products that bring joy and heightened emotions to people around the world
Designing products, graphics, and spaces sometimes affects the way we feel.
It begins with an investigation of the objects we come into contact with, never making assumptions about them, and then bringing them into harmony as materials to create a uniquely uplifting experience.
Unfortunately, there are only a few designs that can make things shine to the fullest. This is because the role and interpretation of design has become blurred in this age of diversity in all things.
Perhaps we need to once again discuss what kind of design we should leave to the world as our hope for the future. However, it is not only between designers, but also with yourself, as you are reading this sentence.
Things get better and better as we see and touch them. The time you spend moving and thinking, noticing and improving the process of getting there is irresistible fun. Because you have the opportunity to notice and update yourself in a world you don't know.
If I feel hard, there are traffic policemen waving batons in the pouring rain.
If you feel happy, you may pass a high school student rushing to catch a train.
And always, a breakup is bound to happen.
Designers must deal with everyone and anyone on an equal footing.
This is the way to make the world happy through design, and to make ourselves happy in the future.
Set your minds at ease and let's talk a little good design!
