The world is full of disorder and rough edges—
like a ramshackle stage hastily built by a traveling troupe,
where disasters, both visible and hidden, unfold constantly.
I’m not a perfectionist,
but there are things I can’t help but refine and design with passion,
hoping they will bring me a sense of peace, even momentarily.
My journey began at a company that once redefined how we experience mobile networks.
From admiration to imitation, from chasing accomplishments
to following structure and systems—
I gradually shed the ideological constraints that once held me.
Over time, design has shifted for me:
from the pursuit of aesthetics and form,
to something more metaphysical.
It has become a way to explore human nature, perception, and meaning.
In a future where AI may govern rules and order,
what still matters is how we, as humans, choose to see—
how we perceive life, environments, humanity, and the tension between values and interests.
I continue to rely on raw perception—
to experience, to empathize, and to find clarity in decision-making.
Even the way we train AI can inspire how I approach markets, cultures, and users.
There’s always something deeper to understand,
and that’s where value begins.
Perhaps design,
though grounded in form,
has always been a response to the chaos I quietly observe.
A language I use to negotiate with the world.
May peace always find its way to the world.
