My journey began in 2014 when I started working in interior design and decoration in China. Through my work, I immersed myself in the stories of culture and architecture, encountering both traditional Chinese classical structures and global modernist designs. Learning about what truly fascinated me became a source of great joy.

In 2019, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I found myself at home exploring personal interests—such as creating architectural models. I studied and crafted works by modernist masters, including the Kaufmann Desert House, the Azuma House (Row House in Sumiyoshi), and the E-1027 House. That period brought me immense happiness. After the pandemic, however, I returned to a hectic schedule in design.

By nature, I am solitary and not fond of social interactions. Although my design career significantly improved my social skills, the relentless busyness left me feeling unfulfilled. I began searching for a way to genuine happiness—until I stumbled upon a book titled Company Of One online. You can find and purchase it on Amazon, and I highly recommend it if you enjoy learning and reading. Even before opening it, I knew I had found what I was looking for.

A few months later, I made the decision to dissolve my team, leaving myself as the sole member of the company. This allowed me to step away from complicated relationships and return to my true self.

Today, every aspect of UNMAR that you see—from packaging design, product development, photography, and video production, to instruction manual illustrations, website creation, and brand building—has been accomplished by me alone.

If one day the UNMAR website stops updating, or its domain expires and goes offline, it might mean I am no longer in this world. But Eli Design and UNMAR will have left a faint yet meaningful trace behind.

With that, I hope you enjoy UNMAR products. Thank you for your support and for listening.

Unmar, short for “unmarked,” emerged from my extensive experience in designing architectural models and assembling commercial building puzzles. I gradually realized that rigidly following instruction manuals trapped me in a monotonous cycle: “check number → find corresponding part → retrieve and assemble according to numbered diagrams.” Personally, I rarely rely on part numbers when building models—instead, I prefer locating components directly based on the visual design displayed on the colored box, unless the structure is exceptionally complex.

This prompted me to reconsider: why not minimize or even eliminate these numbering systems altogether? I aim to guide users toward adopting my intuitive approach, as I believe an image-driven assembly process feels more engaging and inherently natural. By reducing dependency on numbered instructions in my latest designs, I hope to offer users a more fluid and enjoyable experience. Moreover, this visual thinking method significantly benefits children’s cognitive development—it encourages them to think like artists from an early age!

最早2014我便在中国从事于室内设计与装饰工程的工作，在工作过程中学习了许多文化与建筑的故事，接触了许多传统中国古典建筑与世界现代主义建筑，学习是自己感兴趣的事是非常有意思的。2019年因为新冠病毒的原因在家开始做一些自己感兴趣的事情比如制作建筑模型，我研究并制作了一些现代主义大师的建筑如：考夫曼沙漠别墅，住吉的长屋，埃西里科住宅等。这段时间让我感觉非常开心。疫情后又步入了繁忙的设计工作中。

我是一个孤僻且不喜社交的人，设计工作给我的社交能力带了质的飞越，但过度的繁忙并没有让我感觉到幸福。我开始思考人生幸福的方法，直到我在网上看到一本名叫《Company Of One》的书，你能在亚马逊商店找到并购买它，如果您喜欢学习与看书我会推荐你购买它。我还没有看到书的内容我就知道我找到我想要的东西了。几个月后，我就把员工遣散了，公司只剩下了我一个人。我可以摆脱复杂的人际，回归那个本真的我。

是的，现在您所看到的UNMAR产品的包装设计，产品设计，照片的拍摄，视频的制作，说明书的绘制，网站的建立与设计，品牌的建立等所有工作我一个人完成了。

哪一天UNMAR的网站不更新了，或未续费关停了，或许我就不在这个世界了，我与伊莱设计，还有UNMAR曾经在这个世界留下一道非常轻微的划痕。

在此，希望您会喜欢UNMAR的产品，感谢您的支持与倾听

unmar即unmarked的意思，在设计和制作了很多建筑模型后，同时也拼装了很多市面上的建筑拼图产品后，我发现完全按说明的书的步骤我的思维陷入一种非常无聊的循环中：“看编号-按编号找零件-取出零件按图文编号安装”。我本人通常拼装模型的时候并不会过多的看编号，而是直接按彩盒子上的款式去找零件，除非模型实在太复杂了。所以，我思考为什么不能尽量减少甚至取消这些编号？引导用户与我一样的方式去拼装模型，因为我认为这样的拼装过程更加的有趣，图像化的拼装过程才是人类的本性啊。于是我在最新的产品设计中尽量减少编号的存在，这样会给用户带来更优质的体验。同时图像化的思维方式对小朋友的思维启蒙具有相当的好处，因为他从小就像艺术家一样思考了！
