As industrial designer my motivation is to search for and solve real-world problems. What really interest me nowadays are also a global problems: environment-conscious living and thinking – to make people think and take action, alternative energy sources – e.g.: energy harvesting of children/animal motion, and Design-For-All mentality (for all: children, adults, blinds, etc.).
