Hanson in skydiving gear

"Hm... what if this could be different?"

Growing up, I always had an irresistible urge to take apart toys or build complex Lego structures that defied the instruction manual. My curiosity was never just about understanding things—it was about imagining how they could be different, better, or more interesting.

You see, "Hm..." isn't just my initials; it's my design philosophy. "Hm..." is the sound of curiosity, the start of a question. It's the moment right before a new perspective emerges.

I am Hanson Ma, a brand motion designer based in California.
