Q1. Please give us a brief bio of yourself and your design background.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n My name is Anar Nasirov and I am a final-year student in the engineering faculty. Since early childhood, I’ve had a passion for creating something new because I’ve always wanted to stand out and not be like everyone else. About a year ago, I started getting into design, which has become a new avenue for my creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to this, I have been involved in frontend development for the past 1-2 years. My engineering background gives me a unique perspective on design, allowing me to merge technical precision with aesthetic beauty. With each new project, I aim to expand my horizons and apply my acquired knowledge to solve complex challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q2. What made you become\/why did you choose to become a designer\/artist?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The inclination to delve into design came from my longstanding passion for creativity and originality. I’ve always had the urge to break away from the norm, leading me to explore various fields. About a year ago, I found that design allowed me to combine my engineering background and technical skills in frontend development and programming with my creative aspirations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether I’m coding or designing, I strive to solve problems with a distinctive flair, aiming for both functionality and aesthetic elegance. This fusion of technical acumen and artistic sensibility is what initially attracted me to the design field and continues to motivate me in every new project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q3. Tell us more about your business\/company, job profile, and what you do.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I work as a designer at Feinzig, a company that focuses not only on creating aesthetically pleasing and functional products but also aims to address broader societal issues. One of the challenges I’m particularly passionate about solving is reducing CO2 emissions. My role involves researching and implementing more eco-friendly development practices, as well as designing products that are both sustainable and efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n My engineering background equips me with the technical skills needed to approach these challenges with a multidisciplinary perspective. Whether I’m working on the design aspects or the technical elements, my goal is to come up with innovative solutions that are beneficial for both the user and the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q4. What does \u201cdesign\u201d mean to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n To me, “design” is a multidimensional concept that goes beyond mere aesthetics or visual appeal. It’s a potent blend of form and function, serving as a bridge between the technical and the artistic. Design is about solving problems, both seen and unseen, to improve user experiences, enhance usability, and contribute to a better, more sustainable world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In my work at Feinzig, I see design as a tool to address broader societal challenges, such as reducing CO2 emissions, by creating products that are not just visually pleasing, but also ecologically responsible. Thus, design becomes a form of expression, a way to impart values, and a method for driving positive change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q5. What\u2019s your favorite kind of design and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n My favorite kind of design is sustainable design, which merges aesthetic value with environmental responsibility. I find this approach to be incredibly fulfilling both as a designer and as a citizen of the world. The goal is not just to create something beautiful, but also to make a lasting, positive impact on society and the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In my work at Feinzig, I get the chance to delve into sustainable design by researching eco-friendly materials and methods, thereby contributing to the reduction of CO2 emissions. This aligns perfectly with my broader goal of leveraging design as a tool for solving critical issues and making the world a better place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q6. To you, what makes a \u201cgood\u201d design?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n To me, a “good” design is one that successfully merges form and function while also considering the broader implications of its existence. It should be visually appealing, but more importantly, it should serve its intended purpose efficiently and effectively. A good design anticipates the user’s needs and preferences, making the user experience as seamless as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Moreover, in line with my passion for sustainability, I believe that a good design should also be environmentally responsible. It should minimize waste and the use of non-renewable resources, thereby contributing to a more sustainable future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In summary, a good design is holistic, meeting not only aesthetic and functional criteria but also ethical and environmental ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Introducing the “Salt and Pepper Grinder Set” \u2013 a harmonious blend of form and function designed to enhance your culinary experience. \u2026
