Philosophy

The person who struggles to secure the human essence includes emotions, senses, thinking, and memory. Technology and services that improve human life are essential. Still, I want to be a laborer who does not miss the human essence along with its convenience. I want to do something that changes someone’s feelings and impress them through what I create.

In the recent book, I’d read “Don’t Just Do It"(by Song Gilyoung), The sentence “Diligence is effort without thought. In the future, we need sincerity in thinking, not thoughtless diligence.” stays in my mind. Instead of just working hard, I try to find a way to bring warmth to the world through deep thought, various conversations, and collaborations.

  • Capture moments

    Secure memories

    Find happiness around me

  • Find out what do we need to protect consistently (emotions, senses, thinking, and memory)

    Find the way to secure such things

    Share my happiness

    Helps people to gather their happiness

  • The world filled with human touch, interactions, and emotional communication. The world still give chances to secure our intrinsic features of being human: touch, thinking, sense, and emotions.

    I expect people can realize that the happy moments that are always present in our daily lives. The world is filled with various moments that we have not realized yet. I pray everyone can feel their emotions, senses, breathing, and story consciously.
