Selected workThe object in the hand decides whether the intelligence inside it is believed. From the first unboxing to the last notification.
Design languages for Huawei, Xiaomi and OPPO, and now Natural OS. The grammar behind the gestures people make every day.
The model is the material. You say what you mean, and the interface forms around it.
Systems that prepare, show what they know, ask before the irreversible and repair in the open.
Timing, silence and a visible state. A voice that knows when not to speak.
Clusters and cabins for Mercedes-Benz and Honda. Confirm what matters, never every knob.
Hardware, software and launches for VITURE. Every device on a body has two users.
Spheres, sculptures, light. The visual language starts here, before any product borrows it.
Small language models and machine-level context systems that teach software to understand design the way designers do. Every idea about intelligence is proven in running code before it reaches a slide, a roadmap or a stage.
