Hello!
This is RM the Sweat(er) Capitalist. The girl in the yellow sweater. someone bold enough to wear a sweater 90% of the time, be it spring, summer or snow. I may not be the RM of BTS, but I am bold enough to invest with my blood, sweat and tears in the pursuit of putting empathy back into innovation. I am also a design butterfly, who has gathered many different design flowers, to create a unique bouquet of offerings.
Globalist
I don't want the human borders to stop be from helping humanity, and thus I want to build local and scale global.
CAPITALIST
I am invested desginer. I like to keep my portfolio green, blue and profitable of course to the people and the planet.
GENERALIST
I am a deliberate & intentional generalist, with multiple specializations intersecting technology, design, business and art.
EQUALIST
I believe humans are similar but not the same, once I understood that I decided can build for equality and equity.
ARTIVIST
I doodle my way into the world of design activism, a pencil on paper is just as powerful in amplifying voices and choices.
EMPATHIST
I am a designer, and a perpetual learner, so I pick empathy over compassion, so I can zoom in and zoom out as needed.
STYLIST
I can speak on any stage in the world with just one good cotton sweater, a pair of jeans, and a damn good pair of sneakers.
Sweater Capitalist's 27 DREAMs
My mom says that I go big or go home. Proof? Those tall Lego structures I would build until they came crumbling down under their own weight and then I would start all over again.
Sweater Capitalist's UX persona
“Uncle Ben once said, ‘With great power comes great responsibility’ and I truly live by that. My superpower is helping my customers become superheroes in their own journeys. I understand that angels can fall, heroes can cry, and yes, even Superman has his own kryptonite.”
Sweater Capitalist's Business Model Canvas
"Putting empathy back into innovation
one idea at a time."
Language Proficiency
"Learning languages is my way of connecting and empathizing with people and their cultures, giving me a richer understanding of their contexts."
Sweater Capitalist's design tenets
"Designer is my weapon of choice to fight for everything I believe in. The people and the planet. I choose to build on our similarities rather than dividing us by our differences."
Dream
Infinitely
I am a thoroughbred thinker & dreamer. I train myself to think big picture, start small, iterate rapidly, fail smartly, scale mindfully, and retire tactfully.
Learn
Continuously
Creativity and imagination are gifts to fight the ugliness of the world. As a designer, I commit to creating in ways that are circular, not linear.
Share
Willingly
I see ability as a privilege. Whether it’s my creative ideas, research insights, or abundant resources, I choose to share them responsibly.
Design
Ethically
For me, the ethicality of good design lives in diversity, inclusivity, equality, and equity, for humans and non-humans alike. Therein lies my promise.
Lead
Empathetically
I believe leadership is stewardship. With great power comes great responsibility: to mentor, coach, and sponsor the next generation.
Advocate
Vociferosly
I aspire to be an ambassador, an ally, and an advocate for the voiceless and choiceless. If I can’t be all three, I will at least be one.
Create
Circularly
Creativity and imagination are gifts to fight the ugliness of the world. As a designer, I commit to creating in ways that are circular, not linear.
Evolve
Sustainably
I accept that evolution through technology and innovation is inevitable. My principle is to be sustainable, if possible regenerative, in building economies of scale.
Invest
Mindfully
I aim to invest not just money, but also blood, sweat, and tears, to help repay the design debt humanity owes this beautiful green and blue planet.
The brand story
Since you know the origins of the word sweater capitalist and what it means to RM. Here is a breakdown on the brand logo itself.
Sky Obsessed:
I’ve always looked up. Mars fascinates me, but Earth grounds me. I’ve been stargazing and cloud-watching ever since my mom fed me mushy baby food under the sunlight and moonlight, telling me stories of crows, Cancerians, and constellations.
Big Dipper:
In Hindu culture, the seven dots represent the seven great sages, and the Big Dipper constellation is often symbolic of them. I believe it carries the wisdom I need to become a holistic designer.
Number 7:
Everyone has a favorite number—mine happens to be seven. It’s auspicious. It’s my baseline. I’ll possibly retire when I reach a seven-figure salary.
connecting the Dots:
I’m a big believer in connecting the dots. The lines represent me connecting all the dots I’ve gathered through the years. I work in the present by connecting the dots backward; I envision the future by connecting the dots forward.
The Color Palette:
I’m a visually biased designer. The yellow, orange, red, and pink spectrum has always spoken to me—creativity, energy, and happiness. As a June-born, I have a summery and sunny nature, thriving as an extrovert, a friend, and a giver. And thus, the sunny spectrum.
