Awakening Life's Perceptions and Igniting Passion for Design
Q: How do you lead your team to create space designs that stand out from the market? What qualities should Design Apartment’s designers possess?
A: The uniqueness in design is sought inwardly rather than by adhering to conventional standards. Continuously seeking external differentiation can lead to a loss of true identity. I believe it’s essential to delve inward and find what you genuinely love, allowing this process to reveal your preferences over time. Designers should maintain an idealistic and youthful spirit. They need to reflect their thoughts and understanding of things in their work. Therefore, I value whether Design Apartment designers resonate with me—whether they share my excitement and energy for design. If a designer cannot sustain a state of being moved by design and their surroundings, they’ve hit a bottleneck. In such cases, they must find ways to reawaken themselves, resuscitate their senses, and regain the ability to perceive and be touched. You must calmly and repeatedly face external challenges to firmly root yourself in the field of design! Overcoming bottlenecks is an essential part of this process. Designers must continuously derive joy from their creative endeavors, even when the process is arduous, and remain motivated to complete their work. This drive for innovation and breakthrough is something only the individual can fully understand. I often find inspiration and emotional resonance in movies, art, literature, and music. This sensory process is incredibly precious.
