Do you have some special rituals before
you start to create?
• I am a curious person and an ideas
person, everything I do is imbued with
my curiosity and love of exploring ideas.

product design through graphics practice
• Lead to 3.3 conceptual design
• It does not need to be a fully resolved conceptual
design (towards design ideas)
