2007-2010

Back in 2009-2010 just like any other MA Industrial Design graduate I applied to many big companies like Microsoft, Samsung and Apple for a job.

I guess my work wasn’t good for them to offer me a job but good enough to use for inspiration without acknowledgment.

Well hello again! My portfolio was never meant for your inspiration and this is why you can’t patent my designs.

Employees who work at companies like these have a greater responsibility.

I did not sign any NDAs for you to use my projects for your inspiration. No one can license my ideas or designs to anyone on my behalf.

My personal projects are not for your inspiration.

Quiz time: Guess who got inspired by my post-2019 art and doesn’t want to acknowledge.

I know you follow my every move and you already saw this.

Big companies just scavenge for inspiration and they will never admit or acknowledge.

And I am also suspicious of a few people who were close to my life who took my ideas and unlawfully made deals with some of these big companies.

You think I am annoyed by your interpretations?

I am just embarrassed that you would copy/get inspired from a designer like me who has no followers/is not famous.

Fact: Your interpretation would never be authentic or original.

I just like what I do. You can never patent or copyright my original ideas.

Weight distribution... Can’t be bothered with explaining any further why this design is better.
