“Between Design, Technology and Man, there is a delightful sea where I dive deep into.”



“I use a design to solve a problem between an object and a man and call someone to come over to it. I put a technology behind the design to have a passive communication with people who are always curious about inside of a pandora box. Technology gives a spirit to a designed object so that it can interact to man. I always struggle about how my work can interact with audience and how they can enjoy it. It should be fun all the time so any children can play with it.

Thankfully, I have been gifted many talents from my parents and grandparents to make it happens for creative arts and crafts and music. They give great details and make a virtual environment so that people can dive deep into the world I created. I used to use ambient sound to make it extreme such as a rainy sound. I believe rain can bring back many happy things to audience especially when I play a positive piano music under the rainy mood.”
