Design Legend Interview

31 May 2019

I learned industrial design from Hunan University of Technology 9 years ago.

To become a designer like Leonardo da Vinci always been my goal, and that’s why I named myself “Vinci”.

I choose to be a designer.

I design electric consumer products a lot. I like different project. Any non-duplicated work is ok for me.

I am not a design Legend yet, but I dream to be the person like Leonardo da Vinci.

Great designer never satisfied with what he has done.

From following items judge the design: 1. whether solve the problem in an new way;2. whether has a reasonable usage; 3. Whether has human being design ;4. whether iconic design.

Good design makes people has better relationship with others and society.

Probably design for kids.

No,Just believe I can. I am still searching for the way of success on design.

Leonardo da Vinci.

My favorite design is Yoshino Nursery School and Kindergarten design by Tezuka Architects. Check it out: Endless ellipse roof with soft rubber, half open-ended class room and underfloor heating system, I think each of function details thinking makes children enjoyable and comfortable. That’s why I like it.

Nop. I would say it’s the next one.

If so, I will concern about social-culture and learn philosophy.

Never think about that. It’s very difficult to answer Hypothesis question.

Design is the process of produce order from chaos. design is the tools and method of make the bridge between society, tech and people. For me, design is not a job but the way of how I existence.

I don’t think how great of me ,seems like “the written interview “Inspired me that I have to move faster and smarter to approach my goal.

I still need growth on design. Design is the ability of integration.

I am not a design master yet.

Show the real color without any deco element.

Have no Idea at the moment.

To become a designer like Leonardo da Vinci always been my goal.

I will try to becoming an esteemed designer at next thirty years.

I only agree green design and sustainable design which probably helps to create a better society. Most of designs and technologies are destroying our society right now.

Not really. I will try to working on some good stuff for kids for next few years .

New generation productivity tools such as HoloLens in real-world scenarios (Mixed -hybrid reality technology).

How to keep emotion and mood healthy.

Depends on what kind of project you are working on; it may take me over 5 months to lock down a cell-phone ID. But I probably only need 1 week to develop a Bluetooth speaker industrial design. It might me 2 weeks to finalize it.

Start with understanding of the nature and root of the requirement.

“All objectivity is subjective and all opinions are biased.” quotes from Hans-Georg Gadamer.

They influence each other.

Design is the ability of integration. Technology is a part of design element.

Pro-E, Rhino, Photoshop, Illustrator, Key shot.

Basic element of design.

I hope people asked me where I can buy it.

Appreciate and enjoy.

I do believe in co-design, but it’s hard to find the right person to work with.

If so, then “ A History of Western Philosophy” I-Ching, I’m still reading many other books.

Thinking like a master designer.

Leonardo da Vinci, Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, Lao-tzu and Fuxi.

Very peacefully.

Black white and Blue, Space or dominant position, I do like Italian pizza a lot, thin and Crispy. I like winter. I like Feeling of weightlessness.

That is a tough question, I can only tell that I keep searching and thinking do not make myself behind of the time, and at the same time, I keep to looking back the history of the design and philosophy, try to understand the relationship of the social with human being and myself how exist. i am still growing up as a designer.

No, when I was a child, I always dreamed myself Suspended in the air and fly free.

Designer Interview

31 May 2019

I learned industrial design in Hunan University of Technology 9 years ago. Becoming a designer like Leonardo da Vinci is my goal, and that’s why I named myself “Vinci”.

Royole Corporation is based in Shenzhen China. We are a Hi-tech company which has the ability to product flexible-display screen. We had developed many products based on our own flexible display and flexible sensor tech.

Design is the process of produce order from chaos. design is the tools and method of make the bridge between society, tech and people. For me, design is not a job but the way of how I existence.

I like different projects. Any non-duplicated work is OK for me.

I am always trying to make my next design as my most favorite one.

An electric soap dispenser- Penguin Bionic Design.

I don’t have a preference before, but now, I would say that anything that is traditional, such as handmade craft.

In the morning.

The usage, function and how it works.

I have different emotions at different stage of design. In one words, curiosity, expectation and passion are the main emotions all the time. I am deeply in strangle when time runs out but the work not going well.

If the product succeeds on the market, I feel very happy.

A successful design is a design that can solve problems in a smart way.

Easy to use and environment friendly.

Designer is the maker of social rules, indirectly and directly. Designer has the responsibility to use sustainable materials, promote reduce waste and protect environment.

I think design is driven by social culture. It develops on the basis of contemporary philosophical theory. In the foreseeable future, rational philosophical thinking will still be the mainstream thinking of the society, and the future of society and design will be rational.

No, that might be happen thirty years later.

My creativity comes as I can always empty my mind and leave experience away when I start a new project.

I don’t have my personal design style because I don’t have deep systematic thinking about the design style from the history. In terms of current design style in the world, I don’t like hi-tech.

I live in Shenzhen, China, a modern immigrant city. I think Shenzhen has the best environment in the world for a designer to grow and develop. Shenzhen has No.1 production capacity, consumer market and forward thinking.

I am a contract worker.

Find the people who has high field of vision is most significance. Make the designer have opportunities to involve in strategic decisions.

I take a plenty of time to understand what the key point is; I will hand making demo when I start drawing the rough idea. Once I had basic demo on my hand, I will shape the details in 3D in an easy and fast way.

My favorite design is sliding door that saved space and also make me very easy to close and open it, it saved time and physical strength as well, Other else, there are too many object need to be redesigned for me, e.g. a tools for open coconut, an umbrella i never lost, a smart shower that can free my hand, a private smart emotion and mood care assistant that only services for me.

It has been very busy when i work on Flexipai project, sometimes i have to work with supplier make sample at white day and make design details at night after back home.

Just Keep Moving. Concern about social cultural changes. Concern about the how people influenced by tech.

Designer has the opportunity to understand the original word deeply.

No words, Make the product speak itself.

Curiosity.

Many of 2d&3D software like illustrator and ProE.

Normally, I take over 50% of time to understand the requirements and make clear the path of problem solving. That will make the whole work faster.

It depends on what kind of project I am working on; it may take me over 5 months to lock down a cell-phone ID. But I probably only need 1 week to develop a Bluetooth speaker industrial design.

What do you design?

I once worked for an European design agency to develop headphone for Logitech UE. At that time, as a junior designer, I learned a lot from the company founder who is a RCA background designer. He influences me a lot on design.

I serves for company, I had designed some products for Anker TCL Alcatel and Logitech.

I am not really good at team work sometimes; I prefer to work with small team that can make great things together.

For the long-term plan, I am not sure yet, maybe make my own business, launch cool product for kids or start up a simple lifestyle brand with health related.

I probably will build up team to work on my own product for future, but not now.

No. Not now.
