PORTFOLIO
Growing up in Taiwan my earliest memories are of playing with friends in the rice fields and bamboo forests, and of observing my parents textile business. In these places I found my childhood “toys.” Of course, at that age, “design” was still a foreign concept, but that is, clearly, when I started to cultivate the idea that “things” having usefulness.
I didn’t realize it back then, but what I was developing was a value and a design esthetic. I was retaining the aesthetic of earlier times while being progressive as regards the functionality of man-made physical objects. When I was a child, this was the simple desire of a child, now I see it as a professional and social imperative.
While the object is the subject, my design esthetic has a dual purpose-to serve both an individual and the environment. My Industrial Design philosophy is to re-think, re-use, re-envision and re-cycle…to fashion the past into the future. My goal is to cultivate designs from the creation of a product, through to its end of usefulness.

The object becomes the subject, and conscientiousness becomes the basis for need. The designer bridges an idea with function, practical aspects and aesthetics into a product. It is art in living.

Light is an essential element for all living beings, plants and animals. It affects the physical environment which, in turn, effects mental well being.
This exquisitely designed LED light comes in three different materials, aluminum, copper and bamboo give this elegant lighting the ability to adapt to many different style aesthetics’. Grouped together or used individually; hanging or freestanding floor models, my lights offer great versatility while making a stylish sculptural statement. Romantic yet modern, they can be adapted to indoor or outdoor use.

The kitchen is the heart and center of the home, where families and friends gather together, spending most of their time. Minimizing kitchen “gadgets” is a practical use of space and also opens additional space for social gathering.
The toaster accommodates many different types of bread, allowing maximum usefulness (for meals, quick snacks or appetizers) using minimal space and con-serving energy. It allows the family to gather together and share in delicious, warm snacks.

An estimated 260.3 million of India’s 1 billion inhabit-ants live below the poverty line. Many of those live amidst 6.4 million tons of waste (from the West) and 5.8 million tons of waste produced domestically.
Working with Reebok Shoe Company I created free shoes, out of major waste materials, for Indians who live below the poverty line. Reebok provided the sole and pinch detail of the shoes which I designed to couple with my concept of the tops. Protecting their feet while helping to clean up the living environment.
