An Unconventional Approach
The Emirates Times: Ani, you are known for your unconventional approach to accessory design. How did your day start today, before our interview?
Ani Han: Before the meeting, I dedicated time to meditation. It’s a fundamental part of my morning that helps me clear my mind and set the tone for a productive day, freeing myself from external distractions and better connecting with my inner creative force.
Clear Thoughts And Better Designs
The Emirates Times: How does meditation influence your creative process?
Ani Han: Meditation allows me to see and feel the design more clearly. In my studio, I often work focused solely on the material in front of me, which lets me understand its potential and how it can be transformed into a meaningful object.
A Spark Of Creative Endeavors
The Emirates Times: What other rituals or habits help you maintain creativity?
Ani Han: Besides meditation, I typically take short walks outdoors, along the shoreline, which helps refresh my thoughts and sometimes find unexpected solutions for my projects. I also regularly conduct brainstorming sessions with my team to discuss new ideas without constraints.
Authenticity Finds Place In Ani’s Design
The Emirates Times: You create designs that are often described as works of art. How do you determine what fits your brand?
Ani Han: I rely on intuition. It’s not so much about technique as it is about feeling. If I feel that I can convey a story or emotion through an object, it’s the right choice. I’m not looking for a specific style; I aim for authenticity and the opportunity to experiment.
Sustainable And Meaningful Designs
The Emirates Times: There are no awards displayed in your studio or other symbols of success. Why is that?
Ani Han: I believe such symbols can distract from our main mission—to create meaningful and sustainable designs. We focus on ensuring every product is genuine and has personal significance for our clients.
Minimalist Approach Above All
The Emirates Times: Your approach to design sometimes seems counterintuitive. What makes you successful in this field?
Ani Han: I believe in the power of intuition and the ability to see beauty in simplicity. My approach is minimalism, which allows us to remove all that is unnecessary and concentrate on what’s truly important.
A Creative Soul, We asked Ani Han
The Emirates Times: How do you see your role at Enso Design Lab?
Ani Han: I see myself as a creative conduit, helping our team and clients find and express their true selves through design. My role is not just to create, but also to inspire new ideas and approaches.
