What I Do

i design

In truth, I’ve spent the majority of my career in commercial design, dedicating years to shaping spaces that serve both the public and brands. I’ve worked on numerous architectural and interior design projects for shopping malls, office buildings, and retail environments, always focusing on how spaces influence human behavior. To me, the "publicness" of a space isn't strictly limited to its land-use attributes. Nor do I view "commercial space" as an inherently negative term; it all comes down to perspective. It’s an undeniable fact that we spend a massive portion of our lives in commercial spaces. The real question is how we can maximize public service and value for visitors, even while supporting the client's business model. I believe this is the very responsibility a public building should bear.

i paint

I started painting in 2019, initially with acrylics and gradually transitioning to oils. It began as a quiet practice, a way to slow down after long days of digital drafting and site visits. Painting offered me a different kind of focus—one that is more tactile and demands more patience. I don’t paint to produce polished pieces for exhibition; I paint to process, to observe light, texture, and color. It gives me a perspective that design work sometimes can't. The shift from acrylic to oil wasn't a deliberate choice, but rather a natural evolution as I learned to work with layers and time.

i travel

Travel is profoundly important to me; it’s where my body and mind intersect, allowing my physical self to arrive at places my thoughts have long visited. I don't travel to collect destinations, but to gather moments that stay with me. Each trip brings forth a new series of paintings. They aren't objective records of a landscape, but personal responses to what I’ve seen and felt. A textured wall in Madrid, the way light falls in a Tokyo alley, the rhythm of a market in Cairo—these become small studies, quiet proof of my presence. I don’t expect others to see exactly what I see, but the act of translating my experiences into paint helps me hold onto them. Ultimately, designing, painting, and traveling are all ways of staying focused and curious, a way to understand the world one detail at a time.
