I live in Japan. I feel influenced by the country's cultural heritage. The advantage is its simplicity. The disadvantage is that it lacks global appeal.
Logo creation. Some logos are only used for a short time, but if we're lucky, there's a chance they'll be loved for 100 years to come, and that's what makes it so romantic.
I learned most about design not at school but at the first packaging design studio I worked at, where I learned processes and ways of thinking while on the job.
I've always enjoyed imagining things around me and thinking, "It would be better if they were like this." I wanted to become a designer, not just to imagine, but to make them a reality.
Observe designs that you think are good or not so good, and keep thinking about what you think is good about them and what you need to fix to make them better. However, everyone has different tastes. I try not to lose my humility because I'm not always right.
