We had the distinct pleasure to interview award winning designer about their original and creative design work. is an award-winning creative designer, that makes our world a better place with their original works.
("") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work . Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
: The most challenging aspect of this design is in the process of understanding how the different materials work together. For example, I know that acrylic glass edges catch light really well. Exactly how it would look like with them stacked together I have no idea. Also, the difficulty comes in when it comes to decide what algorithms to use to generate the shapes and forms. How do I achieve the illuminating effect I have in mind. How do I convey the idea of representing a very micro organism in this 3 dimensional world.

: The future plan is to expand upon this design and take it to a step above and beyond to see where I can push the boundaries. If opportunities surface, this could land in some people's homes for custom orders.
: It took me about two months to design this particular concept with iterations, fine-tuning and testing with technology. The whole project took about six months in total, that's with installation and adjustment.

: This piece is inspired by the phenomenal contributions diatom algae bring to our world. Diatoms are light-absorbing molecules that convert light energy from the sun to chemical energy through photosynthesis. In the process, carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere, converted into sugar, and oxygen is released. In addition, diatoms are a major source of food for aquatic life on earth. Therefore, this piece aspires to celebrate diatoms as essential organisms to our whole ecosystem.
: I used processing to generate the shapes, Adobe Creative Suite to convert different file formats and laser cutter to produce the final physical forms.
