Bio

Born in Hualien Taiwan, also grow up there. I did a lot of kind of jobs before doing design, those jobs and life experiences have caused far-reaching influences on my design work.

 

Design philosophy

I often ponder the shortcomings in my daily life, and hope to transfer familiar experiences onto products; let people feel the convenience and surprise by using it. I don’t have a specific design style, simply design through observation, product attribution and my own intuition; to me, the aesthetics of an object is already a unique design style.
