Interview with Ruimin He

When I was kid, I like to draw on blank paper. No matter it was a word or random drawing, I might take it as a good way to express my thought. Later, I found the technical drawing of architecture / product is pretty with logic and art. So that I want to be a designer to create something innovative and meaningful.

During the design process, firstly consider "Who do you design for", secondly observe the whole using routine, third is prototype is really important to verify the design. I usually use professional software for rendering and initial mock-up.

feeling excited, be happy, and live a full life.

I think I'm kind of good at communication. It benefits me to be related to normal people, and discover users' true demands via design. Also good communication skill helps me to discuss with clients clearly. Moreover, I can present my design and its story behind well to public.

In my student age, innovation was most important thing to me. Later, When I studied in Master degree and work for while, I found critical and practical thinking became more important. I want to win more award in the future for public approbation. And I want to apply for a job overseas. Recently, I want to try jewellery design.

Work hard for your dreams, think with logic, enjoy in the process.

Logic is also meaningful for designers. It ensures the quality and stability, also is a sure way to suit most users.

I‘m Taurus and I like self-discipline, so my routine may sounds boring to you. Work in office mostly, and go back home after work-off. But I like to refresh my mind with coffee and snacks every afternoon. If I feel exhausted, go shopping and have a great meal at weekend.

Some design foundation will announce latest trends every year or season. Subscribe them will on track with the design trends. I like to design based on the latest design trends because it makes sense and reasonable. But I also change a bit with my own thinking and prediction, hence it could be more convincing with my personal style.

Is the design understandable? Can it evoke people's feeling? I will define a design with these two questions. Besides the basic principle, easy to use and in general, I also believe good design can evoke people's feeling or memory so that it can tell users the story behind itself.

Is the design understandable? Is it useful? Is it long-last? Can it evoke people's feeling? I use the same questions to define my design is ready or not. Also keep questioning after a break, go back to look at the design and ask again. Sometimes you can find something new for next version or update.

Every single project is biggest to me. Sometimes a design project takes 1 year or more to finalize, even ongoing project that improve all the time with marketing demands.

Recently, I like design by Tom Dixon. I think there are really good consumer product with well using of bronze and match the marketing. I also like Zaha Hadid. She was one of successful women and designers. Her distinctive design style, streamline, always inspired me.

I live in China and I am proud of my country's culture. Chinese culture has many historical stories, and its each pattern can give meaning into design. With the significant development in China, the manufacture and material benefit product design with mass production. Here also is a wide platform for designers to make their innovation with combination of art and technology.

I take charge of my team as design leader, and also develop my individual design myself. I do like to set up the timeline for each design project. It helps me to manage the time and team with clear schedule.
Thanks to my team, we can use the time efficiently.

It is pleasure if can do philanthropic contributions to society as a designer. Some of my joined design associations would had events for holidays, such as Children's Day, International Women's Day and so on, to invite people or kids know there. It is a positive way to relate art and society.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to let more people know me and my design!

When I was kid, I like to draw on blank paper. No matter it was a word or random drawing, I might take it as a good way to express my thought. Later, I found the technical drawing of architecture / product is pretty with logic and art. So that I want to be a designer to create something innovative and meaningful.

I choose to become a designer myself.

For now, I focus on product design, which is not only design for physical things and also design the application in sync.

I am not design legend, still working towards to it. Do not stop critical thinking about good design. Work hard for dreams, think with logic, enjoy in the process.

In my humble opinion, great designers is good at questioning, and have distinctive insight into the environment. Also, they must be empathetic and share the feeling via design, so that their design are meaningful and they can present their design well.

"Ten principles for good design" can answer this question. Is the design understandable? Can it evoke people's feeling? I will evaluate a design with these two questions, and I also believe good design can evoke people's feeling or memory so that it can tell users the story behind itself.

The value of good design is helping people solve the problems in life. For example, cleaner robot saves your time for house cleaning, and meditation app would brings a refresh mind and peaceful mood to you. So our life become friendly, cozier and better with these positive experiences

I am interested in NFT recently.

User experience is an important aspect to me. It can make the design useful and easier to user, and help me to share the meaning behind design to users in good way. And logic. It ensures the quality and stability, also is a sure way to achieve design.

Zaha Hadid. She was one of successful women and architect. Her distinctive design style, streamline, brings different inspiration in my industrial design .

Recently, I like bronze product design by Tom Dixon, what are good consumer design with well using of material and match the marketing. I also like the architecture by Zaha Hadid with her distinctive streamline style.

I do not have significant greatest design yet. Maybe when I win a Gold A’Design Award I can answer it.
However, I always say a great design must be timeless, brings long-last benefit to environment, and evoke people’s feeling easily.

Do not stop questioning, observe more about the environment, and think with deeper insight

A lawyer? A developer? Neither sounds suit me better than being designer.

Design is not only for appearance, pretty or ugly, but also present its characteristic. It will go through from the looking, material, finished to the interaction with user. Moreover, it is an innovative method to help people to solve problem in the life.

There are more than one person helped me. But I would like to say my parents are my biggest supporters.

My design degrees brought me multiple capacity and design thinking, which are my strong backup. Also I am good at communication so that I can present my design well, and related to people.

I am still working hard to become a design master. So far my obstacle is my general design process.

Present the thinking behind design fluently like telling a story, show the result clearly and make sense.

An app for smart home.

Boost my career and our business with clients.

Professional, have good aesthetic insight, reliable.

Design would bring solution with new technology as purveyor.

Currently I am redesigning an interaction system.

Every project. I feel satisfied every time I present it and the design is accepted by clients.

fair rewards.

Design can be better with the development of technology. Design is a positive way to interpret new technologies, also technology supports design improved and achieved. Both side is challenge for designers.

It depends on design needs, ranges from 2 weeks to one year.

When I get a design briefing, I would like to consider "who would be the users" firstly. It brings distinct insights about multiple user groups, and give new thinking with potential users.

Good design is understandable.

It cannot be separated because they are supplements each others.

Design can be better with the development of technology. Design is a positive way to interpret new technologies, also technical supports make design improved and achieved. For example, 3D printing and CAD software help design production. Moreover, advanced algorithm is new manner to due diligence and initial prototype for design. Both side is challenge for designers.

For UI design, I usually use Photoshop, Sketch and Lanhu. For industrial design, there is a series of professional software, like Solidworks and Keyshot.

Optimal combination of color, materials and ambient supports design be more friendly.

What does inspire you in this design?

"Wow!" is my first reaction when I see a new great design or product. And then I will ask myself: what is the sparking sport? what the difference / benefit does the design bring?

I am working with a team and I would like to work with someone who is proactive and like to juggle ideas.

I have a chat group of designers that we often exchange our thinking and funny things.

Art: A Brief History.

I am not a master designer yet. Now I am developing my management skill and critical thinking.

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

Thanks to the awards I had, I have the opportunity to let more people know me and my design.

My favorite color is red, my favorite place is home. I like seafood and all season.

Winning this award is the first thing I like to talk as a designer.

Compliments in my design presentation from clients and people propalSolving a design problem always feels good. I motivate and get inspiration by walking with my dog in nature.

Not really. When I was a little child, designer is one of my dreams because designer can create pretty things. By I grown up, I was dissatisfied just doing something pretty. I have ambition to be a great designer to do meaningful design.

I focus on the present.

Thank you for all the supports!

Nowadays I work in a radar technology R&D company. WiRUSH commercializes the see-through-wall capability in many scenarios, such as office, smart buildings, shopping malls, hospitals, robotics and more. It is the core principle behind all WiRUSH applications - safe, efficient and affordable to improve health, security and quality of life. Those are also my goal into design.

Design is not only for appearance, pretty or ugly, but also present its characteristic. It will go through from the looking, material, finished to the interaction with user. Moreover, it is an innovative method to help people to solve problem in the life.

I don't limit myself with particular design discipline, but so far I prefer UX Design, such as web design and app design, which I try to bring the design thinking of physical product into software development. It allows me to add more creative ideas to try because it contains lots of interaction between human and design.

Recently, I like to use various colors together with minimalism design. People always think minimalism is less color and light tone. I'm trying to add more attractive colors within it to evoke people's feeling, but still present the design in a clear and sharp way.

Smart pillbox and its app. It leads my thinking towards to how to use technology well into arts.

Pencil and paper, it is always first tool for design and take to the finalization.

in a middle phrase of project. It shows a clear initial prototype in this phrase, and I can add more creative thinking to improve the finalization.

User experience is an important aspect to me. It can make the design useful and easier to user, and help me to share the meaning behind design to users in good way. And logic. It ensures the quality and stability, also is a sure way to suit most users.

feeling excited, be happy, and live a full life.

tired, but be satisfied.

Besides the basic principle, easy to use and in general, I also believe good design can evoke people's feeling or memory so that it can tell users the story behind itself.

Is the design understandable? Can it evoke people's feeling?

environmentally friendly. It is one of point if a design is long-last, and the designer would take the responsibility to make sure it give the social and environment positive impact.

Design can be better with the development of technology. Design is a positive way to interpret new technologies, also technology supports design improved and achieved. Both side is challenge for designers.

My last exhibition with my individual design was 2010 year in Seoul, which I got my first award. Also, the design project with my work team has won A'Design Award, Reddot, and iF in 2016-2017, so that they presented our design as winner there.

I always say the inspiration is everywhere and comes with logic. So that I try to observe the subtle movement, inertia, habits and change around our environment to inspire my design. This way has wider my insight and my vision.

Most of my design is minimalism, but not limited myself to reinterpret other arts. Also, I like my design making sense to relate to human and environment by color.

I live in China mostly. Yes, I am proud of my country's culture. Chinese culture has many historical stories, and its each pattern can give meaning into design. With the significant development in China, the manufacture and material benefit product design with mass production. Here also is a wide platform for designers to make their innovation with combination of art and technology.

Usually we talk with the developer about new tech and application, which inspires even surprise us. When the project starts, we have done the user interviews and market analysis to find out their needs. These take a huge step in design process and goal. I have to discuss with design team in each phrase for details and limitation from technology and applied.

There are various designer type. Some focus on the good looking, some are perfectionist, and some are just cat's paw. The important things for working is how to use well their talent and appropriate position. It is also my consideration when selecting a good designer.

When I get a design briefing, I would like to consider "who would be the users" firstly. It brings distinct insights about multiple user groups, and give new thinking with potential users. Afterward, ranking user demands, seeking the reference from my design warehouse, and put my creation in subtle detail as well. Making an initial prototype for user test is the next, and then update version and update and update... But I have my bottomline of making product good looking, understandable and useful. These also are my winning tips in design finalization and design proposal.

Dishwasher, Dolce Gusto, A set of coffee cups, Sofa and Cleaner Robot. These things make a cozy home to me and refresh my mind.

I‘m Taurus and I like self-discipline, so my routine may sounds boring to you. Work in office mostly, and go back home after work-off. But I like to refresh my mind with coffee and snacks every afternoon. If I feel exhausted, go shopping and have a great meal.

Work hard for your dreams, think with your logic, enjoy in the process.

Positives is that have different insight and arrow down the main question to answer.
Nagatives... is too strict.

Logic would ensure the design done in fast and clear manner. But don't stop questioning and upgrade it.

Communication. No matter communicate with yourself or others, either language or pen. It is related to how designer present his design, also how the design interacts with users.

For UI design, I usually use Photoshop, Sketch and Lanhu. For product design, there is a series of professional software, like Solidworks and Keyshot.

I do like to set up the timeline for each design project. It helps me to manage the time and team with clear schedule.
Thanks to my team, we can use the time efficiently.

It depends on design needs, ranges from 2 weeks to one year.

To myself : Who do you design for? what the difference / benefit does your design bring?
To other design: What is the sparkling spot?

I learnt a lot from the colleagues in my first job who has high ability. Also the first job, it brings me a lot awards with that excellent group.

I work in-house design.

App design. It allows me to discover more interactions between human and design, and also to take in charge more freely.

Win more awards for public approbation. And I want to apply for a job overseas. Recently, I want to try jewellery design.

I work with both. I take charge of my team as design leader, and also develop my individual design myself.

New design project is on the way that design an app for smart home.
