I believe in " Art is long but life is short". Art is long but time is fleeting. I love what I do! Design is the food of my mind & soul. Design is my passion. Design is as necessary as breathing. Design is the key of my soul. I enjoy design in my daily life style. I like shape, color, unique style and of course effective design, which will bring the benefit of the products or design or advertising to the consumers or clients. I constantly explore the boundaries of the medium, both technically and conceptually, seeking ways to stretch my own boundaries as an artist, graphic designer and creative director. I bring this sense of discovery and passion into my design, where I find my energy regenerated by the creative confidence, knowledge and expressive power that I see growing in design areas.
