FS: Could you please tell us more about your art and design background? What made you become an artist/designer? Have you always wanted to be a designer?
MA: I am mainly a self taught artist. When it comes to jewellery design I did take professional training courses to understand the technical aspect necessary to design jewellery. I directed my focus towards arts after completing my education in business studies. As I had always wanted to become a designer but somehow i never got a chance to study arts.
FS: What is "design" for you?
MA: Design to me is LIFE. Its the reason for my sanity.
FS: What kinds of works do you like designing most?
MA: Designs inspired by nature and structural forms.
FS: What kind of emotions do you feel when you design?
MA: Lost in another realm.
FS: What kind of emotions do you feel when your designs are realized?
MA: Satisfied
FS: What makes a design successful?
MA: Every design that is translated from an idea to reality is successful for me.
FS: When judging a design as good or bad, which aspects do you consider first?
MA: I dont categorize a design to be good or bad. Design to me is a reflection of the designers state of mind or their inspirations and how confident they are to experiment.
FS: How would you describe your design style? What made you explore more this style and what are the main characteristics of your style? What's your approach to design?
MA: My design style is minimalist.
FS: From your perspective, what would you say are some positives and negatives of being a designer?
MA: Two words 'Hard-work'
FS: What skills are most important for a designer?
MA: Visualization
FS: Which tools do you use during design? What is inside your toolbox? Such as software, application, hardware, books, sources of inspiration etc.?
MA: basic tools! pencil and a sketchbook, then use additional tools as you progress with the design.
FS: How long does it take to design an object from beginning to end?
MA: Depends on the design. I may dwell on an idea for weeks or can complete it in a day.
FS: Do you work as a team, or do you develop your designs yourself?
MA: Both
