CONCLUSION As a designer, I love what I do and strive for excellence when it comes to my passion. I aim to create ideas through my vision that result in outcomes that are outside the context of what is common or ordinary. In the words of architect and designer Karim Rashid: “....I am working constantly. When you work, you must focus and work only; then you can work less and accomplish more. When you play, focus to play only, then you will have more fulfilled relations or pleasure. When you rest or relax focus on just that, then you will be rejuvenated always. In other words if you devote yourself to the experience at hand, your life will be extremely well balanced, accomplished, and more fulfilled.�
