I have worked in the automotive industry for more than 10 years and mastered the knowledge of automotive factory planning. I'm very interested in brand and product design. At the end of 2023, I founded "Agiling", with the company's vision of creating better human-machine interaction tools, and independently completed the design and development of the company's first product-the "Cyber ​​Yoke" steering wheel.

Attempting to find a balance between tradition and modernity, emotion and technology, art and industry

tragic and stirring

Many people have an inner self isolation, which is related to their personality and experiences during childhood. From a young age, they long for attention and recognition, hoping that one day there will be a mysterious power that can excite a big bang in their inner universe. Our design philosophy is also based on this. Whether it is products or artworks, they can bring users or audiences a unique experience, that is, self recognition, and give customers the ability to personalize and showcase their own value.

Productize and commercialize my current designs

Design cannot be separated from application scenarios and practical needs. Even if there is a great idea, it should be people-oriented.

Be a responsible designer or engineer

Working on a large sofa all day long.

Differentiate between usage scenarios and needs

I haven’t formed a fixed style yet, but I believe that art can transcend time, and the design style of the old times can still be combined with modern technology.

Proving its feasibility, design that is detached from reality cannot be called design completion

China. Eastern ideology is conservative and introverted, but this does not mean that traditional art cannot evolve. Note that I am talking about the evolution of Chinese culture itself rather than its integration with modern Western art. Chinese native art has its own unique charm, and I love it, but I am not sure that passion alone can help evolve a culture.
