  I am especially interested in the process of shoe-making to apply new design ideas. I have learned all type of shoe making method from traditional hand-sewn to modern glued shoes.  For the final project, I used a variety of those traditional shoe making techniques combined with fresh ideas. One of my design philosophies is simplicity after complicated process.  Every product of every details are meaningful but nothing too much. Keeping the balance of the product at the strongest point has been always a key.
