What is design to you?

This project reflects how I think about design as a process of gathering scattered thoughts and gradually giving them form. Working with materials such as paper, clay, wood, and a 3D-printed cube, I used each medium to test resistance, precision, and intention. Each iteration became a way to think through making, rather than aiming for a finished result right away.

The cube emerged as a moment of temporary resolution, where decisions paused and the form felt settled. Instead of emphasizing the idea of thinking outside the box, I explored what it meant to work within one.

Through this process, I came to see design not as endlessly generating options, but as recognizing when a form feels coherent enough to move forward, while remaining open to change in future iterations.
