“Through my work, I harness the power of design
and establish a visual dialogue with the viewer,
where concepts can universally reach out
to human minds and hearts beyond language boundaries”

What I believe in:
• Creativity is problem-solving, not just making art.
• The blank page is your chance to create something new. • Be self-sufficient but know when to call for help.
• Seek feedback to grow, but don’t let it define you.
• Recognize better ideas from others — they make you stronger.
• Embrace failure; mistakes often lead to breakthroughs.
• The only failure is not trying.
• Whatever may happen, will happen — be prepared for it.
• Nothing is ever perfect or finished — keep improving.
