Yi-chia Lee
1988.02.08
I consider myself growing in a multi-culture environment, which made me
open-mind, and easily to embrace different culture. Before 6 years old, I spent my
childhood in Logan, Utah with my father who was a Ph.D. student in USU. Retrospect to
my childhood, the things I impressed most is the education I has taken, which full of
varied activities of learning. It was no fear to be different! And we should be proud of our
difference. However in Taiwan, we emphasize on group harmony. These are two very
different points of view. I am always learning to balance both of them by making myself
outstanding but with a humble attitude. The most important is “always to be joy to
share things with others”.

Gold prize, 育秀盃 2012
李宜家、呂哲宇、王少妤
All kinds of creative has been digitalize, product of digital authoring tools
such as Wacom appeared. However, these days people live in a high
mobility, but these tools are external expansion by usb port, bulky and not
easy to carry with. So we came out with idea of “if the tools are built in
loptops?”.
TransBoaed applies Magnetostrictive material, which allows keyboard
Change the form with the application. The top layer is made by plasma ,so
the keybord can change the color or language of buttons.

Before I came to NCKU ID, I tried to attend some competition. Then I realize it is
hard to achieve a good design on my own, so at the beginning of the first
semester, I asked two classmates to join competitions.
We designed five pieces of work for two competitions, and there was three pieces
making through the second round. In the end, “TransBoad” achieve the Gold
Prize. Concluded all the process , I believe A Good Design needs discussions over
and over again, and when you do it alone you might stuck at one sight of view.

10. 03.Egg Espresso & Coffee Egg
Espresso experiment
Espresso Capsule coffee machine offers coffee capsules, and there is no need to
clean the coffee machine, it provides a coffee experience with fast and convenient.
However, the price of coffee capsule is high, and its packaging is unnecessary waste.
With Egg Espresso &Coffee Egg, we only need to buy general coffee powder, and
place then into coffee egg which is reusable, while reducing the cost and time to
enjoy espresso. Meanwhile, the machines and Capsule are egg-shaped design, the
fun of a Russian doll.

12. 04. Save the light
piggy bank +solor charge
Cutting costs(開源節流) have been a financial spirit of
Chinese culture, but also a grateful attitude for the
care of resources .SAVE THE LIGHT is inspired from
the concept of piggy bank and solar energy storage.
Moreover it is a spirit of to SAVE our world from
Resource depletion.

14. 05. i miss i pray
愛, 慎宗
In the time of metropolis, life is crowded but lonely.Lifestyle of precarious
operation of campers, full of high pressure and interpersonal alienation, so a
person is easy to feel lonely, then we often need to rely on relatives.
Sacrificial is spiritual sustenance to our blood relatives who passed away, and
also reminds us to cherish the living ones. In Taiwan, ancestor worship activities
are often the most common way of family reunion. This makes ancestor worship
not only a Religious activity but our unique lifestyle.

This design is for rent alone, busy lives, and less
gathering with family and friends. It is also for Taiwan's
culture and lifestyle. it is difficult for us to directly
express our emotion to whom we love, but the easiest
to say when we pray to the ancestors, seek the peace
of the other family members also seek peace of mind,
which is the unique way we express our love.

16. 06. Steping Work
office with LOHAS
System of job responsibility makes our lives always stuck at the office (for graduate
students, it’s in the laboratory),and sitting down for 8-12 hours which makes the
back and leg muscle stiffness. When the work ends, there is no energy for us to do
any activities such as exercise. This vicious cycle is likely to cause chronic diseases, as
well as work lethargic. But if it is allowed to do few simple stretching without
affecting the office, not only stretching muscles ,but also a moment's activity let us
work more efficiently.

18. 07. Material Cube
Basic Design Couse
Cubes from whole class
This spring (2012), I take a course called basic design. The main topic of this
semester is about learning how to deal with material. Painters paint with
pigments, Writers paint with sentences, and Designers paint with material. The
teacher leads us recover our world, which means the world is always new to us,
and we should always look it with opened mind.

20. 08. Sculpture Work
Basic Design Couse
The requirements of good works(Designs)
1. Clean and Clear
2. Has a certain direction (not messy)
3. With Sense of dynamics, Tension
During this course I learn about that we must stay focus to a single idea
when we get one. It often that in the middle of working there is a new idea
pop out making us change the direction. If we do a work with two ideas,
the result won’t be clear but messy. We have to be careful when dealing
with all the ideas.

This assignment is to understand the

Because I like to film photography, I took a Disposable Camera to
deconstruct, and then discharge a fan of the ladder. I cut apart the
back cover so the film can go through it, emphasizing the
structure. The gear part to stay with their relative position, and
