WHY
I believe that design is a unique storytelling of each project. There are no limitation in conceptualising ideas. it is about what message individual would like to convey.
HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE CREATIVITY?
I think of creativity as an endless playground. you could be running around playing with ideas, experimenting new stuff, failing until you enjoyed it so much that you forgot where you began.

DESCRIBE YOUR PRACTICE IN THREE WORDS.
Fun – Conceptual – Fragments (imperfection pieces)
WHERE DO YOU GO, OR WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU GET STUCK ON A PROJECT
I’ll make myself a cup of coffee then go for Pinterest, If it doesn’t help then I’ll go out… get more coffee and do some doodles.

WHAT PROJECT ARE YOU MOST PROUD OF?
This is a tricky question, I think it depends on which disciplines. If for architecture and interior it would be Whale’s kave, For graphic work: Oldtown Map, For Mural: Starbucks CentralWorld Bangkok.

IF YOU COULD INVITE ANY CREATIVE OUT FOR COFFEE, WHO WOULD YOU CHOOSE AND WHY?
Probably my Sydney Uni friends would love to just hangout with them, Chat a bit about architecture stuff and more about random stuff hahaha.
