4 What does “creativity” mean to you?

My definition is simple, Creativity is the process of something becoming new that no one sees his entire life. It's a birth or merging together to become a new idea. Creativity needs strong passion and commitment.

5 To you, what makes a “creative” idea and/or design?

it's like an Aha moment for me. I doest know when but when I am happy and satisfied that means that idea is much better. If I am not satisfied with the ideas I won't back up until I found a solution and creative moment. I like to solve problems in the creative process in a single sit.

6 Tell us about your creative and/or design process.

Visualizing is the first step creative process. its save time a lot before sketching the initial stages. when the ideas come through visualization the next step goes through sketching. I sketch the ideas with more options at least 10 options. after that, I sort it out with 3 options and try to modify it the best as possible until I was satisfied. If I am satisfied only I will proceed with the design.

7 What's your favorite part of the creative process and why?

Visualizing is my favorite part because for me it's easy to control in my mind rather than sketching I can modify very fast in my mind.

8 Describe your creative style and its main characteristics.

Depends on Briefs and clients' needs. Innovation is a key part of my design style. Innovating Design in every aspect is important. design should be new fresh ideas and new combinations of colors and materials. no one should not try before. My style is challenging and always should be modern.
