Can you tell us a little about your background and how you got started in your industry of window smart glass?
I have accumulated extensive experience in the tech industry over the years. Following the acquisition of my previous company last year, I seized the opportunity to explore new ventures. This exploration led me to discover smartglass technologies, where I ultimately became a partner.
What inspires your design style and where do you find your creativity?
My creativity is fueled by a variety of sources, including art, nature, architecture, and technology. I find that immersing myself in diverse environments and experiences—such as visiting art galleries, traveling, and exploring different cultures—helps me see things from new perspectives. Additionally, I stay updated with design publications and online communities to continually challenge and refine my ideas. This eclectic approach allows me to create designs that are both unique and resonant with a wide audience.
Can you share a project that you are particularly proud of and why?
It is difficult for me to single out one specific project, as I take great pride in all the work to which I attach my name, regardless of its size or scope. I approach each project with a commitment to excellence and a determination to put forth my best effort. Every project presents unique challenges, which I view not as obstacles, but as valuable opportunities for learning and growth.
How do you approach a new project from start to finish?
I believe in the importance of having a clear vision; understanding your desired outcome enables you to make the appropriate artistic choices to achieve it.
What challenges have you faced in your career and how have you overcome them?
Challenges, such as shipping delays or inclement weather, can occasionally be beyond my control. However, I believe that effective communication is paramount. By staying informed and keeping clients updated, we can prepare for delays and focus on what can be accomplished while waiting for the timeline to be resolved.
Who are some designers or creatives that you admire?
I greatly admire the creativity of individuals such as Walt Disney, Steve Jobs, and Viola Davis, as well as athletes like Kyrie Irving.
How do you stay updated with the latest trends and innovations?
The internet and social media have significantly reduced the perceived size of the world, allowing information, ideas, and trends to be shared and altered instantaneously. As a result, I always keep my smartphone readily accessible.
What advice would you give to aspiring people in your industry?
Seek inspiration from all around you, particularly in nature. Maintain authenticity and honesty in your business practices, as people prefer to collaborate with someone they can trust.
Can you describe your favorite space that you’ve done and what makes it special?
One of my favorite projects was for a client in Del Mar, CA. Despite having a stunning home, they were frequently troubled by onlookers and the view of traffic outside their windows. I installed Smart Glass on all their windows, which provided them with the peace and tranquility to enjoy their space without any intrusions.
