Afterlife--Memorial

Design to connect people, society, and the earth. 

I continuously explore and learn new knowledge throughout the design process, the right tools that ignite my creativity.

Research
Trend & Opportunities

I believe design is not just about meeting users' needs but guiding them unconsciously into their comfort zones. Conducting extensive research and proposing design concepts is my favorite part. I have my own research methodology, linking large amounts of chaotic data and analyzing their strengths and weaknesses.

Sketch
Ideation & Communication

For me, hand drawing is the most crucial step in refining my ideation. I still draw on paper, requiring complete and coherent thinking rather than spending more effort on composition and drawing effects. Gradually, I have developed my own sketching style, where seemingly chaotic lines actually represent my thought process.

Prototype
Mockup & Test

I really enjoy making models and can use almost all the tools in the model shop. Sometimes the visual effect on paper and the actual 3D effect can be quite different. Therefore, I believe a good design requires iterative refinement between design sketches and mockups.

3D CAD
Modeling & Rendering

I'm proficient at multiple softwares, including Rhino, Solidworks, Gravity Sketch, Keyshot, Adobe Photoshop, as well as new AI tools like Midjourney and Vizcom. Thanks to all these tools, I am able to switch in between them to take advantages from each to achieve beautiful high fidelity digital renderings for different application.
