Designer Interview

14 April 2014

I've been working in a design bookshop for years and it open my eye in design. Then I designed to walk into the design business.

a creative company , involved in different kind of design and art projects

Design is representing the thinking of a designer to identify something. Mixture of beauty and function.

things I never design before

too many,every design or work that can trigger my mind is my favorite......

a small apartment

all kinds and it depends on different projects and situations

when you find interest in something, then you will start to have thinking on this particular things, and it is the time that most creative

thinking is important. i do always believe that the initial thinking is very important. Once you settle down the correct thinking, the direction of the design will come out automatically, you will then know what to do next with less difficulty. You will then know what form and shape or materials to be use.............

First excited, then confused, then enlightened , the rest is worry.

happy and worry at the same time.

can express what you want to say and make others think and feel.

the mind set of the design is the soul.......i think there is a lot of means to do your design, but the purpose and the thinking behind is the core of everything.

in no matter what way( function, beauty, environmental friendly..........) to improve the world a little bit better...

technology did matter, but need to balance with tradition.
when we crave for something new, technology is the easiest way for you to break through.
however, is it good for us to go pure technology........it is a big question.
i feel that technology nowadays make human not human.
we should be very careful to keep a balance at the time we chase for the benefit of technology bring us.

haven't do any exhitbition

life....... the experience you have.........the understanding of things around you.....is the soul of the inspiration.
Reading is a very important input for me. additionally, music , movie also is the main fuel.

I don't actually believe the word "style".....
Style is the word or the way for people to describe your design.
It is important to know that "style doesn't do the design but you do the design become style"

Hong Kong affect me in too many ways.

History of Hong Kong is very short but she has a very exciting experience that other city can never think of........

Hong Kong one of the city that got the fastest pace in the world, very effective, very functional. In a small place like this, Hong Kong try to use the less to do the most in every aspects. (aspects included money, time, space......)

Also Hong Kong culture is a mix of China and British, it is really a place that east meet west. Therefore, since we born, we have been cultivated by both culture and try to learn and to survive, to success.

In such an environment, you need to be in a way to be very creative to live inside it.

The thinking, the understanding, the balance, the quick action, the hardworking is the key for the success of Hong Kong.

All these elements help me a lot in Design.

my own company

Try to listen to the designer, if don't understand then ask questions. Even a stupid questions can be ask. The more the designer can answer your questions (included the good one and the stupid one), the better the designer. Then trust your designer.

Try to understand the purpose of the design and understand the clients. i usually take a lot of time to talk to the clients. Mutual understanding is very important. Through conversation and background information, added up your thinking, usually the initial idea already come out. Then is for you to analysis all the information and intention to develop the design.
