FS: Could you please tell us about your experience as a designer, artist, architect or creator?

FS: What are your priorities, technique and style when designing?
BSDT: When designing, I begin by sketching first. After completing my sketches, my computer designs are my models. I render my modeled finished designs ready for rendering afterwards. I get inspiration from nature in all my projects.
FS: Which emotions do you feel when designing?

FS: How do you know if a product or project is well designed? How do you define good design?
BSDT: First of all, look for ergonomics. A good design should be friendly to the environment and the user.
FS: How do you decide if your design is ready?
BSDT: In order for good design to be available, manufacturability must also be designed. The design which is suffering from the production is not a good design.
