Design is to pursue a better life

the problems, the bad design....

still a long way to be a design master.

the point is about how a product should be presented. It is not necessarily being presented by the designer.

Come up with a design that is recognised as a master piece by the world

design is about problem solving

excited about whether it will get another design award.

Everyone become a designer.

it could take a day or it could be as long as years.

It depends on what kind of products you designing. Some design need to involve with technology, but some dont.

I believe the world will always need better design.

I like to design something that I haven’t designed before.

There are too many great designs in the world, but it is hard to find anything that I like most. There’s always room for improvement in these designs.

An analog watch

Every material has its own strength and I think it is good to make use of it. It is the same when it applies to any platform or technology.

Inspiration can come at anytime, but I like to work at mid night.

Interaction design, user experience, user-centered, sustainability, manufacturability, cost are all important factors

A successful design is when all my problem solved.

It should shows a great improvement and difference comparing with others.

everything that we design must give positive influence and effect to the society . When it comes to the environment, designer should always take sustainability and eco-friendly into account when working on their designs.

Design field will keep evolving with technology and human cultures.

One of my design is exhibited at the Trend Gallery at Nuremberg Fair early this year.

My inspirations can be from everywhere – by observing behavior of people, kids and other people's work.

The style should please everyone especially children.

I am currently living in Hong Kong. I don’t think my design is affected by the cultural heritage. The most importance is whether you have the exposure to different people, different design and different culture in the world.

I am working as an in-house designer

Trust. A good designer who must love design, have strong belief in his/her designs.

Design brief->research->brainstorm->concept->feedback from different parties ->prototype->testing->engineering drawing->final design.

1) My DIY decorative screen 2) My DIY ceiling lamp 3) My Bruce Lee sculpture 4) An antique wooden stool which is older than me 5) My DIY wall mounted lego collection

Eating-> thinking-> researching-> eating-> creating-> designing-> eating-> observing-> resting.

be passionate about it

Designing itself is a joyful thing. the process make you learn a lot about people, economy, society & culture. I haven't found any negatives yet.

Design for need.

Being Considerate

Wacom-intuos, Photoshop, Pro/ENGINEER, Memories, internet, things around me.

When you love design, you will give as much time as possible.

As short as 1 minutes or as long as a century.

Will it be better?

All experience at work are important.

Toys”r”Us, Walmart, Kmart, etc.

The whole design process which is enjoyable to me is essential of making good design.
