My passion for design.

I chose to become a designer.

Commercial space, residential space, office space.

Explore the world.

A good designer can provide a good design. A great designer uses environmentally friendly materials to create space through aesthetics and function.

Good design should show aesthetics, reflect perception and pay attention to environmental sustainability.

Good design will bring a better future for mankind.

If I have time, I will put my energy in design residential spaces for my loved ones.

I would like to buy land and build the perfect houses for myself, my family, and my team members.

Dare to envision. Plan and listen patiently.

I like contemporary architecture. I love the design of Frank Gehry, Tadao Ando, and Toyo Ito. The structure, the materials, and light and sun and light are inspiring. In the work of Tadao Ando, the combination of concrete and natural elements such as sun, light, and wind presents a beauty that is so peaceful.

To me, Church On The Water1988 and Koshino House 1981-84 are the two most inspiring projects from Tadao Ando. He uses concrete and natural elements such as sun, wind, and light to express his thought and design idea. I admire his vision. His works a so peaceful and inspiring in its form.

Tribute to Sensibility. The design is derived from the concept of Hygge. This is a great design that presents aesthetics and is loved by the clients.

Keep learning. Stay humble.

Operate a restaurant. It is also a design-related industry.

Design is about how to express perceptuality. I expect my design can show both aesthetics and functionality.

Perseverance.

I learned to lead. It is the knowledge that needs learn and practice.

We submit our design projects to different awards and competitions.

The next project will be a residential design project. All the soft furnishing, lighting, and colors will be trendy.

I hope to give myself time to plan my life and design a perfect home for myself and my team members.

People expect me to provide solutions for their living space, office space, or commercial space.

Designers should pay attention to sustainability and environmental issues. In the construction industry, in our society, we are developing to a stage where we need to look at our own working environment and working procedure. How to provide solutions by design to benefit our own industry will be something we need to think about.

Residential design project.

Tribute to Sensibility. The design is derived from the concept of Hygge. This is a great design that presents aesthetics and is loved by the clients.

I expect to see younger generations joining the interior design industry.

I expect designers in the industry to pay more attention to materials and the issue of sustainability.

6 months minimum is required, but it all depends on the projects.

I will start to study the background information of the space and understand the needs of customers.

Determination and perseverance will lead you to your promised land.

Design determines the trend.

Depending on customers' needs, technology can be the protagonist or supporting role.

AutoCAD, Revit, Adobe Illustrator, Office.

This design has an excellent form, proper functionality, and environmentally friendly materials.

I hope people will say that my design has an excellent form, proper functionality, and environmentally friendly materials.

I will ask myself a question: Can this project be used in any of my interior design projects?

My team. I believe in co-design.

My clients and my team.

"Thoughts on Man" is a great book published by Matsushita Konosuke in 1973. This book talked about nature and the changing character of humanity.

Keep learning.

I would love to spend time and talk to myself.

It takes a lot to get the awards and recognition. It is all about the process of preparation for any design project. I feel definitely honored for myself and my team. I can be proud of myself and my team. I am happy for my clients that I delivered an honorable design project for them.

I love all the colors, places, foods, seasons, and all things in Taiwan.

An interior designer in our industry asked me to design for his house. Although I thought he was kidding when I heard his words, I accepted it. When he said to me "I meant everything I said to you," I finally realized that he was not kidding.

The praise that is given by customers.
Team centripetal force which makes everyone in our team working in the same direction.
An open mind allows us to accept new things and be open to learning.

Take care of everyone's health. Face the pandemic. Grasp the present.

Taipei, Taiwan. Our society has diverse cultures and customs. We appreciate different cultures and customs here. Therefore, we need to develop diverse abilities and skills to serve our clients who have different preferences.

Through in-depth meetings before and during the co-operation.
