Designer of the Day Interview

29 October 2021

My undergraduate department studied architectural design. Due to my preference for product design, I turned to product design field development, and I have ten years of relevant work experience.

In fact, my design inspiration was very late. It was purely because I really liked the feeling of creation that I gradually developed the design profession.

I want my design to give people a sense of accuracy, neatness, and richness.

I usually feel excited at the beginning, and there will be many different emotions in the process,but I still enjoy it very much.

If I really want to say, I think my ethnic background gives me a significant design energy. Because I am an aboriginal in Taiwan, the educational environment of the Chinese collides with my original education, and the sparks produced are an important experience in my design career.

To be a designer for nearly 10 years in my career, I have tried to absorb nutrients from observations of life and the environment, hoping to increase Taiwan’s attention to and application of design in the future, and a design experience that can make people feel happy is my dream.

Be persistent and don't let go of any detail that expresses the design.

I haven’t successful yet. Every art or architecture has a subjective evaluation.

The beginning of the day is usually random. When inspiration flows in, I will create uninterruptedly. When there is no inspiration, I will also enjoy and experience my life.

Popularity is a trend, but the design is unique. It will continue to evolve better than people can have a good experience.

"Good" design is the most suitable design, no matter which aspect it is, such as use method, industrial manufacturing, brand effect, etc.

I don't think any design is perfect and ready, because there is always a better design to optimize our experience. Isn't this the reason for the continuous improvement of industrial design?

I am proud of each of my designs.

I think the designers I contact have all the knowledge and nutrients that I can absorb.

I love Taichung, Taiwan, I live there, moreover music and culture also influence my design.

We attach great importance to the "original spirit" and advocate designing all the small details in life. In less than two years after its establishment, we have won five international awards. We respect any culture and hope to bring cultural emotions into the design. Continuous growth is our belief.

We never hesitate to provide knowledge and opportunities to young designers.

We hope that design can bring a better life experience, and use the dissemination of design to attract people to feel and experience good design.
Winning the award has certainly given our company and me a lot of confidence. Especially for a young design company like us, it is easier to persuade the audience in terms of publicity.

Design Legend Interview

29 October 2021

My undergraduate department studied architectural design. Due to my preference for product design, I turned to product design field development, and I have six years of relevant work experience.

In fact, my design inspiration was very late. It was purely because I really liked the feeling of creation that I gradually developed the design profession.

I choose to become a designer.

We hope to continue to make breakthroughs and always look forward to the next project.

Keep learning, don't relax, this will not be the end, do what you should do.

A good designer has an accurate and good design, but for a great designer, in addition to that, people will want to know more about the design because of his design.

"Good" design is the most suitable design, no matter which aspect it is, such as use method, industrial manufacturing, brand effect, etc.

It can create good experiences and emotional connections.

I think it will be furniture, so that most people can get good and comfortable things easierly in life.

There isn’t too late to do our design, we do all projects that are not available on the market.

The reason that drove us to continue to engage in design is not only our love of work, but also our family's tolerance for us. Enjoying life, earnestly understanding, continuous learning and progress are the ways we think can be successful.

The design masters I have been in contact with have allowed me to gain knowledge and nutrients in all aspects.

For me, the environment and life I live in are the best designers, and they give me unlimited inspiration.

Each of my designs has the reasons and advantages that they must exist. Without their existence, there will be no subsequent designs.

Focus and ambition.

The doctor.

It is an attitude, a feeling, and a way of dialogue with the world.

Many people who appear in my life will inspire me, especially my mate, because she gets along with me day and night.

From my life and experience.

Umm…How should I say,I will not say that he is an obstacle, because this is the existence of motivation to move me forward.

Be honest by yourself and feel confident about your design because you are unique.

About the next project, you can expect that we will brake a new ground.

My ultimate goal is to hope people optimize their living standards because of design.

I haven't talked to them, but I expect myself to get better and better.

The design is full of temperature, and it is close to people's hearts, thus creating a better society.

My work has always excited me.

A design that resonates with emotion and experience.

In the future, we believe that people's requirements for design will become higher and higher. In addition to satisfying actual use and senses, more attention is paid to inner meaning, and "emotional design" will become a trend.

In the future, people will have more and more requirements and expectations for design, which may occur in production technology, or they may wish to have more integration with the Internet.The requirements for the interface may become more and more simplified, but they will still return to the most direct contact perception.

An industrial design or product design case, from conception to mass production is a very lengthy process, on average one to one and a half years.

Initially, there will be conceived, and then they will be executed directly. Conceived takes up most of my time, and the execution process is always completed in one go.

Enjoy the creative process.
Feel the tangled and experience in the creative process.
Experience the life experience that is carried out at the same time due to the entire creative process.

Popularity is a trend, but the design is unique. It will continue to evolve better than people can have a good experience.

It gives me a strong sense of security and narrative ability.

3D design software and sketch for engineering.

They are good seasonings and accelerators, driving the role of design.They are good seasonings and accelerators, driving the role of design.

Why do you want to do such a design?

I hope I will do better myseif.

Ambition is the main personality trait, as it drives a person to improve.

If I really want to say, I think my ethnic background gives me a significant design energy. Because I am an aboriginal in Taiwan, the educational environment of the Chinese collides with my original education, and the sparks produced are an important experience in my design career.

The books I have come into contact with are indispensable to my design career.

Be humble and don't give up.

Dali, Hemingway, Pei

I am full of gratitude for the moment I won the award, but most of it is to motivate myself to come on!

I like dark colors, Taichung, Asian cuisine, winter, and all the surprises.

When discussing with young designers, it was very interesting to see their design insights.

Every moment in life is a source of inspiration, keeping an open mind of curiosity and accepting different ideas and cultures.

At that time, I just wanted to play and have fun.

If human don’t pay attention to environmental protection, the question of what will happen after a thousand years is worth pondering.

I hope they will want to know where my passion for design comes from.

Designer Interview

20 April 2021

ChenChing imagine was co-founded by myself and my partner. I have the knowledge and experience of design and my partner specialises in marketing. We are both passionate about design, art and culture and will continue to pursue this path.

We attach great importance to the "original spirit" and advocate designing all the small details in life. In less than two years after its establishment, we have won five international awards. We respect any culture and hope to bring cultural emotions into the design. Continuous growth is our belief.

Design is an attitude. It may be life. It may be social humanity. It may be a commercial activity.

We hope to continue to make breakthroughs and always look forward to the next project.

A design that resonates with emotion and experience.

Each material and technology has its own strengths and weaknesses, and each partner manufacturer has its own expertise, so we are open to all elements of manufacturing.

Basically, creativity can happen at any moment, but the execution is usually in the quiet of the evening.

In the design process, all details are important.

Impassioned and forceful.

Excitement.

Focus and ambition.

Whether the design itself has a unique personality.

The designer is in fact multifaceted. He may be a cultural translator, an environmental pioneer, or an inventor of convenience. But either way, the premise of commercial volatility is linked, and it is important to strike a balance between the environment and the humanity and social structure.

In the future, everyone's requirements for design will not only be "beautiful", "convenient", and "practical". They will also hope to express emotions and humanistic requirements. "Emotional design" may be the future development.

Every moment in life is a source of inspiration, keeping an open mind of curiosity and accepting different ideas and cultures.

Our company has always hoped that our design has a unique personality, no matter what kind of product it is.

We are a product design company from Taiwan and the aboriginal culture of Taiwan is one of the factors that influences us, along with the Chinese culture of course. This may sometimes be very different from Western aesthetics, but we have discovered the meaning of “fusion” and that perhaps the “differences” can also bring beauty.

We have been actively working on projects and have transformed from a design studio to a design company.

Ambition is the main personality trait, as it drives a person to improve.

Observe, think, discuss, execute, verify.

Work and enjoy life.

Be persistent and don't let go of any detail that expresses the design.

Observation and experience.

The source of inspiration usually comes from various books, even movies, or perhaps a delicious restaurant.

We have always believed that design is really about life, and that you don't have to be at your desk all the time to be working. Inspiration from life is also a form of work, but we will establish a work schedule and strictly implement it.

An industrial design or product design case, from conception to mass production is a very lengthy process, on average one to one and a half years.

Does this design meet its own requirements and standards?

We have helped many SME manufacturers to transform their products so that clients can enhance their corporate image through design.

Any type of design are interesting, because design is an interesting thing.

In the future, we plan to expand the company's operating system, increase staffing, and expand brand marketing services. Cultural aspects will be explained in the way of integrating culture into design and presented on products.

ChenChing imagine is a professional design team.
