What do you "Craft for"?
"From the bottom of my heart, I genuinely aspire to become a craftsman, dedicating myself to creation and the art of crafting handmade items. However, pursuing this profession in Hong Kong presents significant challenges due to the complexities of my diverse background and training.
As a result, I am committed to creating an environment that harmoniously balances my career aspirations with my personal interests. This environment must also address the needs and expectations of those around me, particularly in relation to my family business. To continue on my journey of craft, I recognise I must manage various responsibilities across multiple fields, including business, product development, and education."
