3. I was bored in Tainan in 1984. My parents run the business of industrial oil selling
and importing. Since I was a child, I love drawing and sketching, and that’s why I
found the interest in design. After I graduated from my hign school which I learned
advertising design in, I found out what I want to learn in the future is product
design. So I applied and entered the Product Design Department of Fortune
University. In the summer vacation of the third year in colleage, I interned in NDD
design studio in Tainan for two months. During the internship, I made concept
models with designers and also participated in the brainstorming and sketching
of daily life products like, fitness equipments, alarm clocks, etc.. In the latest year
in colleage, I completed the ［Dance Chair］、［Flying fish Light］based on one
of the aboriginal culture, Tao of lanyu with Teacher Wang who is also the design
director of Axis of Time Design Group as my advisor ,and the furnitures were
exhibited in Yodex 2007.
After graduating from colleage, I won the opportunity from the selection of interns
in Duck image During the two months intership, I met other students and
designers from different design colleage, and we worked well together and
shared experiences. From helping designers with collecting information and user
experiences, I not only realized more about product design and selling, but also I
learned that “Design” is just part of the whole product development.
On the September 2007, I enterd Shih Chien University to study for master degree
in industrial product design and also began another internship experiences in
Think If Design and UID Create. In 2009, one of my design work won the Taipei
Industrial Design Award as Award of Excellence. For improving self-design ability
in practical use, I worked with Linkx Electronics、Yih Tah Optics and Unistar Opto
with product development cases.
From the lessons of several excellent professiors in Shih Chien University, I
learned to think deeper and to find out what problems this concept could possibly
solve, and if the presentation of the design layout is clearly enough, etc, these
help me to make my thinking more complete. Discussing with my advisor,
Professior Wang to set up the subject, studying related reports and files, and then
based on the results, I made the fianl concepts to prove and test. The whole
research process was presented with words and pictures to structure my master
thesis and interview for my master degree in Shih Chien University industrial
product design.

5. e-clean is to integrate the direction of the future clean solution, when
dish and spoon fork clean up, can placed on lower shelf, the excess
water to give plants.Tableware can placed on the upper cabinets,
cabinets can provide the function to drying dishes, cleaningwater
pressure can be converted into energy.Can save electricity, use
touch technology and intuitive interface, close to the user intuitive.

6. Consumers age in 25 to 34 single men and women, they are mostly middle-class intellectual, has a high purchasing
power and focus on wealth planning and management, attention to self taste, attention to quality of life.
Single ethnic group living in the environment, they only use a few simple dishes, forks and spoons, cups, utensils
do not need too much storage space, wash dishes only need to complete on the dish rack, people always take up
too much space Resources, placing too many appliances in the kitchen or cupboard space, we need a better
solution to help us save space and have more comfortable living environment.

8. This study is mainly discussing about what kind of style the
consumers prefer and the factors of the purchasing considerations.
The goal is to present an electronic faucet styling design for under
counter water purifiers that matches the needs and taste of the main
consumers and report the related suggestions for designing one.

9. Through the stores and network extensive collection of sample images 20 models of the large
differences in electronic faucet product form, in accordance with the degree of brand
recognition, product integrity and shape the degree of difference do compared to each other
and to screening issued by the shape of the experimental representative sample.
Development & Sketch
Through the styling from this electronic faucet study, it might not only help the related
companies to be more competitive on the water purifiers market but also make the
quality of electronic faucet increase to a higher level.

11. Mouse appearance may have relevance with the mouse? I raise this
issue, it is a visual and tactile feedback design. This concept explore
whether evolutionary modeling, it should evolve into what look like?
Mouse sense of life indicators, product appearance must have life ? I
hope that this is an interactive concept and design appearance of
integrity.

Emotional Mouse
Visual Feedback
You have to use more than one computer? Because people work, Internet, often sitting in
front of a computer all day,this concept gives us a reminder. When you in front of a
computer 12 hours when the mouse will be tired, mouse indicators to be falling, we used
to use the icon, it gives life, reminding us of a day to rest, mouse and human links with life. 2120

13. You can scan other information too
scan paper scan book
Scan Light
scan sketch
When you see a picture book with articles that are great and want to
share with a friend or read from a written not familiar with the
language of the article, to immediately scanned into a computer
translation the use of scanners we must leave our seats, in fact it is
not convenient, you just want to picture. If scanning and mouse
combination will help us save a lot of time to help us in the work to
deal with the “scan” this simple but time-consuming work.
Want to use scanning
capabilities at the same time
by pressing the buttons on
both sides to switch the scan
function.
Will be placed at the bottom of cards, move

18. Plant - food waste recycler
After the usage environment is set to be outdoor mode, this product will transform
food waste like plant metabolism and provide nutrition to soil. The filter in the bucket
can drain the water within food waste. Liquid flows into soil via root-manifold buried
in soil to become liquid fertilizer to promote cultivated plants growth, and also reduce
odor produced from food waste liquid.

19. Development
This bucket can be lifted to detach from the base to be placed in the kitchen for collecting and
recycling food waste. Users can also use this bucket to fertilize. The subject “PLANT” is
expected to be convey the life ideas of design and Natural Cycle.
