I love drawing since I was a kid. I was once chosen to be an assistant for my art teacher in middle school.

5Tell us about your creative and/or design process.

The initial idea was to design an event visual identity, featuring the characteristics of a school. When I was doing research about of the structure of the sculptures in the school, I realized that the sculptures themselves is a logo. The logo is a clean and distinct design. It communicates its purpose and quite decorative as an image.
