My path to become an Artisan is quite complicated. Since I was four, I learn from my father about art as he is an advertising artists. Since then, I bring with me a little booklet and draw everywhere. In the meantime, I have a wide range of interests from wildlife, scale models, RC models to nature and universe. I was once dream of being a wildlife photographer, however, I never have a clear answer about what I want to become.

During teenage, I keep meandering between lots of interests and activities, but what I never drop was drawing, I also work in my father’s studio sometime. It seems that I am born with that ability and I need to keep practicing my skill and prepare for the future.

Due to long term career consideration, I study sciences in college, and eventually I study Earth Sciences and work as a Geologist as my first job.

However, after working in the ground investigation industry for two years, I discovered that what I truly love was art and design, so, I start my plan to change my career towards arts. I learned 3D animation, Script writing and then Graphic Design. And after another two years, I tried graphic designer, exhibition designer, and soon I found that I am rather artistic than design. As I couldn’t find a job that could fully express my creativity, I need to create a job for myself, and the best way that I could start immediately was handicraft.

I want to make something that is different from accessories but still have similar function and even more space for development. That’s why I choose to work on watches. Then, I spent two months in studying how a watch was made, I disassemble and reassemble many watches, both quartz and mechanical watches. I destroyed a lot of watches mean while I got a lot of experience.

I customize my first watch in 2010, and since then, I keep learning through testing a lot of different materials and techniques in making the watch dial and leather strap. And, this is the point I found that it is all of my past experiences altogether to make it happen.

From 2010 to 2015, I’ve made hundreds of unique handmade watch dial. I keep improving my skill level, and this year, I am honor to have a crossover project with DELTAt watches. And this would certainly one of the most interesting project I ever have, look forward to our future development.

Special thanks to my parents:

One of the very important activities that not many fathers would play with their child was… disassembling of electrical appliance. We tried quite a lot of things, TV, tape recorder, video recorder, fan, refrigerator, computer, phone, mp3, hard disk . . . This really open my eyes and give me the self-taught ability. This is also one of the most important gifts that make me able to become an Artisan.

On the other hand, my mom teach me to become a tough person through supporting me in doing what I really want, and being patient when I am in the wrong path. This is another important gift to me which make me not to give up when I face difficulties and stay calm and patient in finding solution.

Now, I am ready, I would use all of my abilities to create the greatest works of mine, and all of my achievement will be also the achievement of my parents.
