Interview with Pei Hau Huang
Designer Interview
13 August 2018
I have always wanted to be a designer. I started from civil engineering in college and then studied design. To increase convenience and comfort yet keep environment-friendly, that is what motivates me.
We focus on the people since they’re the users. The concept of our studio is less is more.
Design is life.
Basically I like to design lots of things but the simplest the best.
As long as the design is thoroughly thought over, I appreciate design which has a great idea.
Let me talk about my company. The first thing I came up for the company was it’s name. Jia Jia in Chinese means “good”, the aim is to only present good design.
I like everything natural, especially wood. I’m also attracted to metal.
When clients tell me their expectations, my brain can’t stop working.
I would say green and eco-friendly.
Excitement!
I can’t wait to see people to use after my design is done.
Passion and persistence.
The functionality.
Reduce the negative impact to the earth and mankind.
In fact I believe the design field has no boundaries. In the future everything will be desgned.
My last exhibition was on 2016 in Taiwan. Hope my next exhibition to be held as soon as possible.
My inspiration comes from life and the passion to make everything becoming better.
Simplicity. Life is not easy and often complicate. The core of design should make people less stressful.
I live in Taiwan. Surely my design is more or less influenced by the culture. The biggest challenge to be a designer here is that many people doesn’t know much about design and think it’s free.
I work closely with my clients and always deliver the best outcome instead of just finish the task.
Companies should choose the designer with strong passion. Both parties should listen to each other and collaborate together.
First of all I’ll understand the need of clients and then to create and realize. Meanwhile I’ll also remove the unnecessary parts.
Light, air, the movement of water, mobility and laughter.
I’m busy at overseeing construction sites, my studio, designing, meeting and recharging myself.
Try as possible as you can. Be brave to experiment.
Being a designer, it’s hard to win the praise from everyone. However it also pushes you to grow constantly.
To bring the best value.
Patience, creativity and the eager to learn.
Nowadays there’re many resources on the internet, it’s also a good way to be inspired. Most of the time I prefer hand drawing and then use software such as Auotcad.
Designing indeed costs lots of time. When I start, sometimes I can’t stop. It’s very difficult.
It’s hard to say. Even when it’s done, I often want to revise it in order to make it better.
Everyone begins to be aware of safety nowadays so I’m often asked if it’s toxic free and environment-friendly.
Design for a boutique.
Most of my work is residential interior design.
Personally I do enjoy any forms of art because it can leverage our aesthetic.
I hope to design future in the future.
I have assistants to work as a team.
Too many!
