To me, BEYOND means….

Beyond has a strong desire to explore and does not exist without courage. Those two factors, I believe, make design worthwhile.

For me, it’s a way to be myself in design, to avoid routine, to grow and satisfy curiosity, to discover new, non-obvious areas, ways of doing things, collaborations. I think that the more Beyond, the closer to life and to real needs.
