› What is the most recent item that you've added to your workspace?

Bauhaus art poster added. The simple and sophisticated design inspires creativity every time you see it!

› How do you spark creativity?

Organize workspace. A clean and organized workspace helps to keep messy thoughts in order.Walking. Sitting in a chair is not enough to come up with good ideas. In such cases, I take a walk outside and organize my thoughts while looking at the natural scenery.Games. I like to play games for a change.Partly because I enjoy playing games, but also because looking at the UI and animation effects used in games is a good reference for my design work.

My day starts around 7 am. I wake up the children, eat breakfast with them, and send them off to school.After that, I always hand-drip my coffee, check my email while drinking it, and then start working.For lunch, I decide what to eat depending on my mood that day.After lunch, I take a short break and then work again until the evening.In the evening, the kids come home and I help them with their homework and spend the rest of the evening.After dinner, I spend my free time playing games, reading books, watching videos, etc., then take a bath and go to bed, which is how I typically spend my day.
