ABOUT Design Philosophy

I believe that Design changes lives. Taking Thomas Alva Edison as an example, he created light through electricity and changed the world completely. People no longer rely on candles for light. Instead, candles were being replaced by electricity. Thomas Alva Edison changed everybody’s life, through his determination, hardwork, perseverance and the courage to explore new things and being open to new ideas.

This is how I believe a good design is being perceived through.

Determination, Hardwork, Perseverance and the courage to explore new things and being open Determination, Hardwork, Perseverance and the courage to explore new things and being open to new ideas. Design is where dreams, ideas and inspirations comes to live. When designing, target audiences, sustainability and site problems are my priorities before moving on to my design concepts. I aim to achieve in designing places and spaces that helps to solve site issues and at the same time, accomodating to my client’s needs.

Creating an identidy to my design is also important but that will only be meaningful if my design helps to solve an issue on a site.

“Tri” Refers to the triangles that were being used and also the tribal feeling it gave me when the song wasfirst heard. As the song had a consistant melody, hence the repetition of triangles. “Sition” in the namerefers to the transition of the triangle’s sizes. As the song progreses its way to the chorus and to the bridge, the triangles follows its way by transiting from one size of a triangle to another.
