Side

project?

Just do it. Over the last ten years or so, I’ve made a habit of maintaining at least one side project at any given moment. Those side projects have served a couple of purposes: 

01. Learn new things : Trying out a new technology, a new field, or learning a new skill. 

02. Build something : It’s nice and fulfilling when you can show your product to others, or take a look at something and know you’re the one that created it. 

03. Refreshing : It’s a great way to get out of your comfort zone and do something different from your day job.

I have always been drawn by haiku poetry being fascinated by its power to communicate that particular moment in time, and a sense of sudden illumination or enlightenment, despite its simplicity. The perfect illustration of "Be here, now" - live the moment and the moment only...

I was looking for a truly simple icon system and I couldn't find one so I decided "to design" one for myself. I agree this is not the most appealing one but I am very pleased with it and I am currently using it. Simple and straight forward. Just text.

In May this year, the 12-strong panel challenged New Zealanders to suggest their own designs to replace the country's existing flag, which was originally created in 1869 and officially adopted in 1902. Tho I missed the competition due some other projects at that time, I decided to give a thought to the challange. So, I came up with this concept.

Noticing they were still using a marker pen to brand their bachis, I teamed up with the Kumo team to design their first hanko as a small reward for their techings. It was a fun collaboration, they are very cool, open-to-new-ideas guys. Thank you, Jeane and Jean :)

The toki (adze) was a chisel tool used by the Māori people of Aotearoa (New Zealand) to carve their great canoes and carved detailing on their meeting houses. A symbol of courage and strength in times of adversity, toki were worn by Māori elders as a symbol of power, wisdom and authority. You cannot simply buy one, it needs to be gifted to you by someone else. Photo credit: Mountain Jade New Zealand.
