Dream

We are artists, designers, storytellers, enthralled by imaginations yet to be unveiled, crafting poetic spaces verse by verse.

Design Manifesto

For those who think Design is a revolution, we imagine differently. A second-nature, an itch that keeps you awake through the longest hours, days, nights, weeks and months to the end? Perhaps. A yearning, an unending love affair, a thirst to create, glorifying walls to be made, remade and broken, a cycle repeated with dutiful diligence until it becomes someone's reason to celebrate victories and failures in the same breath as the drone of monotony and the chirp of epiphany? Possibly.

Perhaps, design is the invincible power of dreams dreamt together while the translucency of floor plans orchestrate the endless lists of imagined people who would someday tiptoe and waltz across the hallways we bring to life for moments to be frozen in memories made in spaces built for those whose lives are designed to become history.

The magic of conversation, harmony, perpetuity and glory, the four needles for a time-teller called design. Design isn't a revolution, necessarily. It’s the conjunction of our arteries and our artistry.

Design Qandy. We, who make just the difference.
