When I was young, I liked to decorate my own room, not just pasting posters and drawing graffiti, but making big moves to adjust the direction of the bed, the position of the storage cabinet, whether the desk should be against the wall or face the door, etc.. From this I found different conflicts and troubles in the process, so I discovered the wonderful feelings brought about by each change. I like this kind of challenge.
The key points of the design are: the contrast of color matching, the coherence of line division, and the rationality of material connection. Technically, hand-painted simulations will be made on the sketches first, and then the details will be developed on the computer. As for the style, it is simple and humanistic, Modern Scandinavian design style.
My favorite part in the design stage is the adjustment of the space structure. I like to challenge the imagination of the customer. After satisfying the customer's initial needs and imagination of the space, we will propose another more creative space plan. These Ideas often get a lot of great wow.
It comes from the eagerness to seek goodness in the personality, the paranoia for ideas and the requirements for details.
All the way from product design to interior design, I hope that in the future, I can plan and design a larger space or building, and dream of creating a personalized residence for each customer.
Live well. Observe every person and thing in life. Good design comes from life.
Do not forget the original intention, maintain enthusiasm, and have a healthy body.
Regularly get up early for morning running or meditation, and maintain the 16-8 fasting method to start working with a sense of hunger and a clear-headed brain. Fix work before dinner and avoid unnecessary overtime as much as possible. After dinner and holidays, leave time for your family and self-interest.
We regularly participate in design exhibitions every year to learn about the latest design trends, and at the same time seek newer materials or products. We can continue to improve the use of new products and new design techniques while focusing on creating our own style. old deficiencies.
Design is very subjective. Most people think that a good design may not necessarily be a good design for some people. There is no "absolutely good" design. Therefore, it is defined as a good design depends on how users feel .But for a product or project, if you can anticipate the lack or deficiencies in various aspects and improve it in advance, this is the value of being a designer.
With the continuous change of the times and the continuous advancement of technology, everything will change, and so will people's usage habits. We can say that every completed design at the moment is a good design, but it will not be forever. OK The design will not stop at a certain moment, it will continue to refine and improve to get close to every current user.
The "Deep Root" project is one of our proudest works. We faced a problem of planning a 40-year-old shop building that was structurally unstable and had multiple water leaks into a three-generation house within a limited budget. For the residential space, we tried our best to keep the old structure to rebuild the space, integrated more than 30 types of work, and it took more than 3 years to complete it. In exchange for the satisfied smiles of the client's family, this is a challenging job .
Steve Jobs. He promoted the design concept of aesthetics first to the world. His admiration for simple and convenient design won him many loyal followers.
As small as living habits and as large as religious beliefs, different cultures will inevitably cause differences in design. Therefore, in design, we must be as objective as possible, open to thinking and bravely try to innovate. Only in this way can we design good products that are close to users. design.
Among our colleagues and partners, we have a core concept of "treat the customer's home as our own home". No matter in design or practice, we must treat each other with care. This is the purpose of our company's business.
I hope to participate in the development of the community environment and do free design for the recycling of second-hand furniture to reduce the burden on the earth's environmental pollution. At the same time, I am also willing to cultivate more young designers through speech activities or student internships.
A big part of participating in design awards and competitions is that we can pass on our design concepts and ideas to more people, and at the same time, we can communicate with design elites from all over the world in terms of culture and design, and discover more about each other. Meta, richer perception.

In the residential space, my favorite design is the dining and kitchen space. Because it is an important field for family members to communicate, interact, and maintain emotions. Starting from the family, people are happy and happy, and complete the inner needs of each person's psychological level , Come to the society and have enough power to make better development in their respective fields and promote the beauty of the whole society.

There are currently no plans for an exhibition.
Design inspiration often comes from the combination of customer needs and observations of things in life, and sometimes from the works of many great designers around the world. I have three suggestions for the cultivation of creativity: travel, read, and practice more.
I will use simple style and humanistic style to describe our design style. This style will be a durable and timeless classic design, which will make customers feel at ease when they are in it. Its main feature is to return the dominance of the space to The client itself, and we just create a space that is full of functions but looks very simple so that the client can use it as he wants.
I live in Taiwan. I think the cultural heritage of our country does not affect much about the design, but the country's real estate development policy has more influence. The pros and cons of the design process are mostly about the use of space, because building regulations and The pull of the number of pings that can be used will often receive the need to challenge the regulations.
I work in a company I founded, mainly responsible for the role of design coordinator and execution.
Let go of bold designs, prudently evaluated judgments, and careful and complete finishing touches.
How does a company choose a good designer? I think this is a puzzle for every company. In the market, the recruits are often not 100%, and it needs to be trained and cultivated by each company to become a good designer. This is one of the contributions of design enterprises to society.

When I receive the case, I will record all the requirements and go through them. I usually don’t start designing immediately. Instead, I let the ideas collide in my brain and give them a period of time to digest before starting the design.

Create more added value beyond the basic needs of users.
Good and effective communication.
Since the introduction of the iPad, it has replaced the hand-drawn part on paper. Until the design starts, it is usually used on the computer to interact with AutoCad and SketchUP.
Focus on doing one thing well in the moment and don't be disturbed by other chores.
Not necessarily, it depends on the difficulty of each case.
Do you still have time to take on our case?
I have worked in a company that imports Austrian original furniture from a product designer to a design director of the interior design department for 8 years. The experience in this company has taught me a lot of principles in dealing with people and cultivating my passion for design.
Our clients are looking for us to design mainly private homes.
Designing a private house is my favorite type of design, because it can fill in the fact that I can't own many houses at the same time but can satisfy various ideas about residential space, just like I once owned this wonderful house.
Continue to implement every current design project, and have the opportunity to challenge the scope of architectural integration.
At present, it is developing and designing by itself, and if there are larger-scale cases, it will consider cooperating with other companies.
It will be released on the official website, so stay tuned.
Through the official website, fill in the demand form information form, and we will take the initiative to contact the customer.
That's all.
