00:47.9 I’ve been focussing on… graphic education and design in general since secondary school. But… the potential for more learning is infinity… The spikes represent… the kind of direction I can go into… start[ing] off in the centre…where I started it and… it goes outwards… I took short courses between my summer holidays, interns during my… time off as well, so… I’ve had graphic education from different institutions… So I think the spikes represent that… Just my thought of… ‘There’s so much things I can go off to.’

03:13.7 The two main divisions would be… the ability to come up with creative ideas. And…the ability to kind of visualise that. So I’d have a… light bulb… and… a pencil… You start from… collecting and researching and everything and [then] this stage where you’re not sure about how your solution’s going to be. And then that kind of long period of time where… have this kind of confusion in your head. Which is… a very important design process… which makes the whole thing interesting, but at the same time challenges… I had a workshop with a…prestigious person… who was also in design and… his point was… ‘Don’t be afraid to not to have a solution when you’re doing a design process’… His words… stuck with me.

06:26.7 I did a two-month internship in a packaging design company in Tokyo and… it was my first time being part of… a design team and then I actually got to feel first-hand… how is it to be working with… real designers. And it was very, very good learning experience. You get to learn so much that you don’t learn in university… The irony is that you go out in industry, you work with people… how university is meant to be, a place where you explore and meet people and… collaborate. But then that’s… more active when you’re out in the industry… My intern[ship] is where… I could have realised that and… I see it as a positive highlight… Because obviously getting intern[ship] is a very difficult thing to do… and the place that I got in was quite prestigious… and it felt like a big accomplishment, like a step forward from… education… So I think I would represent that with a crown.

30:24.0 Let’s say this is like a galaxy and [the] spiky thing in the middle… can be developed and widened into specifically graphic education… The planet’s trying to expand more and… separate into different stars… representing different careers… There is that space between the spike and the star and the lines. And… how it kind of gets narrow in the end…represents how severe it may be… [but] it’s not the end of the world because there are… multiple spikes… and you… find your way through… It’s third year… so I should be doing more exploration… focusing every project… [on] one of my future plans.
