Creative Director's Journal #2-1
I believe the way we view our work completely changes depending on how much we love what we do. When that perspective shifts, a project no longer feels like just a “commission”—it becomes something more.
That’s why we never place limits on creative work. In truth, it’s impossible to approach it in a purely calculated way. We don’t try to neatly align what the client expects with what we deliver just for the sake of convenience. As a result, we often find ourselves going beyond the originally planned scope.
There are times when we go through dozens of internal iterations, only for the final outcome to go unrecognized or not fully understood. But because we genuinely love design, and deeply care for the entire process of turning intangible ideas into tangible form, even those moments feel healing in their own way.
When we enjoy creating something new through doing what we love most, our work stops being just a job to earn money—it becomes a process of building something truly meaningful.
That’s why I believe love is the most important value. When that love is present, it not only reaches the client, but also elevates the brand to a completely different dimension.
And that spark—that magical moment—always begins with love.
