his educational journey began at Ohio State University, where he obtained a bachelor's degree in interior design and a master's degree in industrial design.

He thinks: • “film” is an amazing collage of condensed or stretched time;• “Arts and Design” are organized visual thoughts in a static or dynamic form. While “art” is an expression, self-realization or interpretation of surrounding, "Design" is an intentional, methodical, and imaginative process used to address physical issues.;• “music” is an organized way of feeling an auditory sense;• “technology” is a ubiquitous transporter of human evolution.
"Forget limitations! Today is a golden age to explore various interests. The internet, booming with new and established businesses, offers abundant opportunities for multifaceted talents. As the world connects more, two trends emerge: specialization thrives alongside niche markets. As a designer navigating this interconnected world, I constantly seek ways to connect my passions and find fulfilment. Currently, my pharmacopeia and indigenous methodologies related to herbs and its formulations are my studios, my art is my prescription, and my public performance is my pulse reading diagnosis. For me, the art of herbal diagnosis, informed by ancient pulse reading and culminating in personalized herbal therapy, represents the pinnacle of human creativity. It bridges the gap between scientific understanding and artistic expression, all in service of holistic well-being."
