Overall images and expression of design. And also the philosophy.
From your point of view, what are the responsibilities of a designer for society and environment?
Be bravery to try and learn how to accept if it is failed. Then correct the mistakes. It's a positive attitude to influence people around you and the society.
How do you think the "design field" is evolving? What is the future of design?
In the future, the design itself will be thrived extensively by internet images. It will be a good opportunity for good designers to grow their original design ideas with honest. On the other hand, many people will copy your ideas. So it's time to learn how to use new technology to overcome some challenges in the design phase and construction phase.

I live in Taipei City. It's very international and convenient city. The culture itself is mixed. It blends Chinese culture, Japanese culture primarily and slightly American and European Culture. It's a good cultural background for me to think out of box and accept new ideas. It's a place of art, foods, and democracy. It's pluralism. However, in the way the designer has to be calm and think what's the original design and distinguish the useful information to avoid the plagiarism.
