2What made you become/why did you choose to become a designer/artist?
I liked disassembling items when I was a child. When my Grandpa sent me a bicycle, I immediately disassembled it and by the time my parents scolded me, I had assembled them back. The calculator at home would always be disassembled and repaired by me. My dad couldn't find the screwdriver, the sentence, the tweezers, the nails and so on, and he came to me. That's when I knew.
